The Jury Experience: El Robo de los 20 Millones de Dólares

Trial-format play in Madrid: the audience takes on the role of the jury, hears testimony about the theft of a necklace and decides whether the former chauffeur is guilty or not guilty.

This is a theatre piece in the form of a trial in which the audience takes on the role of the jury. During the session, testimony is heard in a case centred on the disappearance of Lana Tonneti's necklace, worth 20 million dollars, whose former chauffeur sits in the dock. However, the witnesses do not agree, the timelines do not fit together, and it is unclear whether Lana Tonneti is telling the whole truth.

The spectators' decisions steer the course of the proceedings, as at key moments there is a vote and the result changes how the case unfolds. Each testimony and each piece of evidence helps weigh the arguments before deciding. In the end, the jury delivers a verdict of guilty or not guilty, and that verdict depends exclusively on the audience's vote.

The show deals with sensitive themes: murder and violent death, domestic violence and emotional manipulation, with a detailed depiction of a homicide and moments of intense emotional conflict. Given its participatory nature, it suits groups of friends or couples who want to take part in the outcome. It takes place at the Palacio de la Prensa in Madrid.
