There are people capable of anything in order to dodge the task of being part of a jury, because they do not want that responsibility in their conscience or because you do not feel like investing a considerable amount of their time in determining the fate of others. But … what if we condensate all the tedious process in a couple of thrilling hours? What if we did to have fun? Would we even pay for it?
What’s up. ‘The Jury Experience ‘is an immersive play in which spectators become an active part of the show, analyzing testimonies, examining forensic tests and listening to allegations. Finally deliberate and offer a final verdict of guilty or innocent. The cases are accessible and not especially violent or disturbing, they are often inspired by real events.
How it works. The development of ‘The Jury Experience’ is ambiguous enough so that there is no “correct” resolution. There are no conclusive evidence in development, there are no last -minute confessions. That is, the responsibility of awarding someone a conviction or an acquittal falls entirely in the public. According to the organizers From this interactive entertainment, “the proposal invites you to reflect on justice, personal responsibility and limits of perception and social judgment.”
Where to see it. Currently, ‘The Jury Experience’ is turning all over Spainand has been seen in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla or Alicante, among others. At the time of writing these lines you can see it in Bilbao, but the work does not stop traveling. Moreover, it is already starting to operate as a franchise, and to raise different cases so that the most aware can repeat. If a crime was judged in autonomous cars and accidents with cyclists because of artificial intelligence, in the second we will judge a more classic intrigue, with a love triangle, a conflicting divorce and a crime in a mansion.
Experiences from within. ‘The jury experience’ is not an isolated experiment. Currently, especially in capitals such as Madrid and Barcelona, immersive theater experiences abound. Although there are often those oriented to the whole family (such as those of Plot Point ‘Superdetective’ and ‘The fantastic legend of Calamburia’), there are others aimed at a more adult audience, such as the different versions of ‘Cluedo’ live, which already has several cases. There are even places especially dedicated to gender, such as 4DX Theater List Box In Madrid, where apart from the entire aforementioned ‘cluedo’ franchise, they have works such as ‘the memory of the psychiatric’.
What the True Crime. There is an interesting hook in this phenomenon that allows the temperature of the tastes of the public: the Claim of “based on a real case” multiplies the morbid of the Devotos del True Crimethat they listen Podcasts And they see series inspired by authentic crimes often calibrating the possibilities they would have had to take the investigation by another route. Even in a highly fictional environment, such as ‘cluedo’, public participation allows it to transform it into a True Crime Without consequences. A new morbid fun, and also a perfect thermometer of where our leisure pulls.
