“Objection!”, “Sustained”, “Silence in the courtroom!”. We have seen it a thousand times on television, most probably you hear it every day in the Provincial Court of Barcelona and, since 1996, in their trials by popular jury. But what if you have never been chosen to be part of them? The Jury Experience is the immersive experience where you are part of the jury in a complicated court case. Testimonies of witnesses who saw the effects of a fatal technological error, forensic evidence of a murder in a luxury mansion, half-truths of the accused for a millionaire robbery… pay attention to all the details and follow your intuition because in the end you will have to answer an important question: guilty or innocent?
What is The Jury Experience?
The Jury Experience is to experience a live court case without having to have studied law. An immersive 75-minute trial in which the actors will make you witness (and above all judge) the tug-of-war of the lawyers, the versions that seem to blur with every question and the evidence that will challenge your convictions. Unexpected twists, moral dilemmas and, in the end, a decision: yours and that of the other judges, who will decide the final verdict.
The Jury Experience in Barcelona: what is the trial about?
Designed for people over 12 years old, all the cases have moral dilemmas behind them. Debates that will make you doubt during the trial and make you wonder if you have made the right choice once the trial is over. There are new cases that are being added little by little, and other older ones that have become indispensable and will return, but for the moment these are the trials of The Jury Experience that you can experience in Barcelona right now:
Case 1: Technology on trial
Technology is advancing by leaps and bounds and artificial intelligence seems to be designed to make our lives easier and help us in any situation? isn’t it? But what if something goes wrong, what if a driverless car controlled by AI causes a fatal accident? The responsible party would be… The company that devised the software, the government that approved its circulation, the humans involved, would it make any difference to know the number of possible victims with the real ones? It could have been anyone, but you have to deliberate whether the accused is that someone. And you are the one to decide.
Case 2: Murder at the mansion
All that glitters is not gold and in the case of this luxurious mansion, even less so. A murder has occurred and this house has been its witness. It seems to be the consequence of a complicated millionaire divorce and a delicate love triangle, but with no fingerprints or trace of DNA at the crime scene, you can only pay attention to every gesture and every word to discover who the perpetrator of the crime was. Revenge, secrets, luxury? Or is everything not what it seems?
