The Jury Experience - Muerte por IA

Theatre outing in the form of a trial in which the audience acts as the jury: after hearing testimonies and analysing evidence, it decides whether the accused is guilty or not. It takes place at the Palacio de la Prensa, in Madrid.

Muerte por IA recreates a court case following an accident: a self-driving car has claimed a life, and someone must decide who is answerable for it. Is the programmer who wrote the code responsible, the passenger who trusted the machine, or the AI itself that took the decision? The play offers no simple answers and leaves the question in the hands of the audience.

During the session, the audience votes at key moments, which shape the course of the proceedings, and examines testimonies, evidence and arguments before delivering a final verdict. As the jury is the one who speaks, the outcome depends on its decisions, so each session may unfold differently.

The performance includes references to injuries, deaths and grief, as well as moments of intense emotional conflict. It is an outing designed for those who want to take part rather than just watch, whether as a couple, with friends or in a group, at the Palacio de la Prensa.
