The Jury Experience – Muerte por IA

Theatrical production in trial format in which the audience acts as the jury and decides the verdict in a fictitious case: a death caused by a self-driving car.

The proposal sets out a court case over a fatal accident caused by an autonomous vehicle. The central question is who must answer for what happened: the programmer who wrote the code, the passenger who trusted the machine, or the artificial intelligence itself that made the decision. The case is presented as having no precedent.

The spectator takes the place of the jury. Throughout the performance they hear testimony, examine evidence and vote at key moments, so that their decisions shape how the case unfolds. The ending is determined by the audience itself, which delivers a verdict of guilty or not guilty. The work includes references to injuries, deaths and testimony about grief, and contains moments of strong emotional intensity.

The outing takes place in the Salón de Actos of the IFTSA, at the International Fair and Congress Centre of Tenerife, and is designed for those seeking a participatory live theatre experience rather than a traditional performance. It is advisable to arrive in good time, as the doors close once the performance begins.
