London 1888 – when fog, light, and acoustics make the nerves tingle

Fog creeps over the floor, beams of light cut through the darkness, a scream – and the hunt begins. Dramaturgy and direction guide the audience from the judicial inquiry to a magic show, through a mental institution and cemetery. The acting is close to the audience, and the stage setting is framed by the elegant architecture of the Orangerie – a space whose acoustics and lighting mood intensify the tension.

In the midst of the action – interaction without pressure

The production subtly involves the guests: Those who wish can take on a small guest role; those who prefer to observe enjoy the crime story from a safe distance. Typical audience reaction: relieved laughter after each scare moment – and amazed looks when humor and horror intertwine.

Four courses, five acts – enjoyment dramaturgically timed

Between the scenes, the kitchen serves a curated four-course menu. The breaks structure the play, set culinary counterpoints, and extend the tension curve. Thus, a fluid rhythm of enjoyment, investigation, and dramatic intensification emerges.

Historic venue, dense atmosphere

The Orangerie in the Hofgarten – a baroque setting with spacious halls – enhances the suggestion of the material. The ambiance gives the investigations a fine patina between elegance and horror tale, without intrusive effects. Note: Strobe and bang effects will be used during the show.

Conclusion

A thrilling theater evening with humor, precise dramaturgy, and sensory impressions is to be expected – from the costumed performance to the lighting direction. Those who love crime, culinary experiences, and proximity to the stage should not miss this live experience.
