ARD and ORF Air Live Improvised Murder Mystery With Tatort Duo at 20:15

The broadcast tests a real-time improvisation format with audience votes influencing suspicion.

Overview

  • Jessy Wellmer moderates the two-hour prime-time event on Das Erste and ORF on Saturday at 20:15.
  • Actors know only their roles rather than the plot and improvise the case in real time under live direction.
  • Viewers in Germany and Austria can vote by phone or SMS on suspected perpetrators, with a studio segment discussing leads.
  • Axel Prahl serves as narrator Harry gathering clues, and Jan Josef Liefers appears as Maestro Maurice Chevalier steering the ensemble inside the castle.
  • The story is set during the 70th birthday of board-game entrepreneur Maximilian Kampstahl, and a recording will be available later in the ARD-Mediathek.
