HOLMES & CO. - Paranormal Investigations -
Interactive Live Play
Based on the role-playing game “I Misteri di Malaforra” by Alessio Spalluto and Antonello Lotronto, this theatrical actual play blurs the line between stage and audience. You won’t be mere spectators: you’ll become CICAP consultants called upon to solve seemingly supernatural mysteries.
THE CASE: The Mysteries of Malaforra
1992. A recently restored medieval tower in the Sibillini Mountains has been urgently closed. The reason? Unexplained phenomena: otherworldly voices, falling paintings, mysterious writings, and ghostly figures in the fog.
What lies behind the unknown?
Through an interactive app, you will lead the investigation:
- Vote on which mysteries to explore
- Propose your own solutions
- Guide the investigators toward crucial clues
Blending irony, suspense, and scientific rigor, we’ll discover together that reality is often more fascinating than mystery.
