Vienna—the city of great thinkers, political upheavals, and classical music—also has a lot to say when it comes to the justice system. From the imposing Palace of Justice to historic trials that have shaped the city’s social life, Vienna looks back on an eventful legal history. And for everyone who would like to be part of an exciting trial without actually sitting in the dock, the interactive live theater production The Jury Experience is coming to Vienna with two gripping cases just for you!
The Jury Experiencein Vienna – The Trials:
The Jury Experience – Death by AI: Who Pays the Price?
At the heart of the case lies a provocative question: Who bears responsibility when a self-driving car is involved in an accident? As autonomous vehicles become increasingly common on our roads, this trial forces the jury to grapple with the complex reality of algorithmic errors. Who is to blame here—the manufacturer, the software developer, or perhaps the passenger? The answer lies in the details!
The Jury Experience: Diamonds, Lies, and a Dead Man
A famous entertainer’s priceless necklace is stolen. And the prime suspect comes from her own inner circle—it’s her former driver. The case brings hidden rivalries and complex backstories to light—every detail counts in the search for the truth.
Death on the Port Side
A carefree outing on the water takes a devastating turn when the son of a well-known politician is out on the family speedboat with his friends. Hours later, reality sets in: one person is dead, another is fighting for their life in a coma—and the accusation of murder hangs in the air. But what really happened on the boat? Was it a chain of unfortunate circumstances, gross negligence, or is there a deliberate act behind the tragedy?
What is The Jury Experience?
The Jury Experience in Vienna is a live event that combines theater, multimedia elements, and audience participation to simulate an authentic courtroom trial. Professional actors portray legal roles, and the venue is designed to resemble a real courtroom. For 60–75 minutes, the show puts you right in the role of a juror, allowing you to immerse yourself in the case, analyze evidence and witness testimony, and act as part of the jury.
