What is the project about?
The core idea of our experience is to immerse the viewers into the atmosphere of the 18th century Austria and the world of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Additional element, and the theme of the event, is the murder mystery. By interacting with the actors who play other guests, and inspecting the rooms in search for the keys to solving the murder mystery, the viewers will have a chance to learn more about the life of Mozart, and even get introduced to his family.
The plot revolves around the fictitious murder of Mozart.
While the story itself is still a fantasy and not the accurate representation of a specific event, we believe that this setting is very much in the spirit of Mozart who loved fun, jokes and pranks. It is also loosely based on the popular theory that Mozart could have been poisoned by Antonio Salieri who envied Mozart, even though we take this theory in another direction.
