A sparkling mystery

Duration - 3 hours (with an intermission)

NB! Smoking on stage.

The great detective Hercule Poirot boards the famous Orient Express in Istanbul. It seems that people of every imaginable nationality and social class are traveling with him on this luxurious train. This exceptionally comfortable journey promises no unpleasant surprises, but already the next morning one of the passengers is found dead in his compartment. Poirot is forced to take on the investigation and soon discovers that the compartment is full of evidence of murder pointing to... almost all the passengers! Will the world-famous detective be able to solve this strange case?

Director Laura Groza: “Agatha Christie’s iconic novel prompts a desire to assess each person’s responsibility in the context of the murder that has taken place, and the inner need to carry out a possible criminal act. Because perhaps everyone is guilty, even if in fact there is only one murderer, since in the end everyone has played a part in it, because the power of thought is also power. What a curse Hercule Poirot has... Even on vacation, always being at work. Let us not underestimate his heartache or confusion when faced with a crime. The story seems familiar, but in fact nothing really is. Let’s investigate! Let Agatha Christie stand by us!”
