An
Italian company called 'Joint Events', has brought to Barcelona at the
end of last year an interesting proposal, offering dinner and spectacle
to turn diners, in between courses, to become detectives for the
night, to resolve a mysterious or strange crime before the dessert is
served.
This
idea, or one might call it entertainment, or simply a game, is new for
Spain, but had existed in England, as a house game, with one of the
dinner guest 'murdered', and the surviving diners, with certain clues
provided here and there, tried to pinpoint the murderer.
What
'Joint Events' offers is for me more interesting, more like an
entertainment for the evening as, instead of the clues written in bits
of paper scattered round the house, the diners will watch an one-act
play, also projected on a gigantic screen. You are invited to watch
carefully and be mindful of every detail, as the clues are provided in
the play.
The
first play tonight is called 'A glass too many', in Spanish (49,99€)
The diners can talk to the actors (in character) and amongst fellow
diners, each provided with a little note-book, their only 'tool', to
jolt down what they consider important clues to help solve the mystery.
The
2nd play is on the 25th this month, in the Restaurant 106, 'Who has
killed the Wizard of Oz? The magician discovers that the boss of a gang
of assassins has called a meeting to be held in a train, but he was
murdered in the middle of the night. Could the case be solved before
the dessert?
Shows will be presented twice a week, one in Spanish, the other in Catalan. Advanced Reservation is necessary. Price: 49.99 to 60€.
