Immersive show · Château Théâtre Descas, Bordeaux
Le dernier bal de Jean Descas
Step inside a crime thriller.
Bordeaux, 1920s. Château Descas comes alive for a cabaret ball — song, dance, burlesque — until a murder shatters the party. Seven professional actors, a plot unfolding before your eyes, and you — at the heart of the stage. Witness the major scenes, follow the characters who intrigue you, gather clues and at the end, name the killer.
€65 · 2-hour experience · Glass of wine included · Every Friday at 6pm & 9pm
A real show. Not a role-playing game.
You don't play a character in the plot, you have no secret objectives, no lines to learn. You're simply given a 1920s alias to introduce yourself — that's it. Then you enjoy a premium immersive theatre evening, glass in hand.
70% major scenes · 30% free investigation
The evening alternates between major collective scenes — theatre, song, dance, burlesque — where every spectator watches together, and open periods where you can follow a character, witness a confidential scene, or briefly exchange with the actors. The decisive clues often hide in these moments. Impossible to be everywhere: every journey is unique.
How the evening unfolds
You enter the ball
1920s costume, alias, complimentary glass of wine. The château comes alive, characters appear among you — the cabaret party begins.
You live the show
Major scenes pace the night: live theatre, song, dance, burlesque, revelations before every spectator. Between these highlights, you're free to wander, follow an actor, witness intimate scenes and gather the clues that will lead you to the killer.
You decide
The crime is laid bare. You cross your deductions, debate, vote. The actors then perform a different ending based on your verdict — multiple endings are possible, and every night stays unpredictable.
