Night falls early in Amsterdam in October; the canals go dark and the gardens of West take on an edge. You step off a lamp-lit path and the city’s usual hum compresses into whispers. Actors step from archways, sound design tightens the air, and for thirty minutes the Tuinen van West becomes an uncanny stage where a 1987 mystery unfolds.
