The Jury Experience - Angel de la Muerte: Piedad o Asesinato?

A participatory theatre production in which the audience takes the place of the jury: a nurse accused of causing the deaths of several terminally ill patients who asked to die is put on trial, and the spectators decide the verdict.

The Jury Experience presents a courtroom drama in the form of a trial. Those who attend become members of the jury: they hear testimony from relatives and healthcare professionals, review medical records and, at several key moments, vote to steer the course of the case towards the final verdict, which is either guilty or not guilty.

The plot revolves around a nurse on trial for the deaths of terminally ill patients who had begged to die. The central question is whether she acted out of compassion or whether it was murder, and the production tests the limits of the duty of care and medical ethics. Given its subject matter, it includes scenes on terminal illness, euthanasia and decisions about the end of life.

This outing is designed for anyone who wants to take part actively rather than simply watch, whether as a couple or with friends who enjoy making decisions as a group. It is staged at the Palacio de la Prensa in Madrid. It is advisable to arrive in good time, as the doors close when the performance begins and no entry is permitted once it has started.
