Minneapolis has had its fair share of high-profile criminal cases in recent years. But none of them have tackled the fine line between innovation and accountability as The Jury Experience. To switch things up, the immersive courtroom drama has added a new trial about none other than Victor Frankenstein, the brilliant but dangerously obsessive scientist who has pushed the boundaries of life and death.
This time around, the controversial character from Mary Shelley’s book has been reimagined as the defendant in a case that explores how far can science go before it loses its soul. And you? Well, you’ll play jury and decide whether the whole responsibility lies on the scientist. However, it’s no easy decision. Your vote could sentence a human mind to total erasure…
Frankenstein on Trial: a high-stakes dystopian nightmare
In a future where science outruns morality, Victor Frankenstein stands accused of horrific crimes. Not only has he created a living being from human remains, but now a series of mysterious deaths casts a long shadow over his work. Was his experiment a breakthrough or perhaps a secret weapon?
It’s up to you to answer this question and vote whether he should receive Neurological Dissolution Therapy (NDT)—a legal penalty that can systematically wipe the defendant’s mind and identity. As you hear heart-breaking testimonies from the Creature, his grotesque creation that also demands justice, you’ll be immersed in a thrilling sci-fi story loosely based on the Mary Shelley classic.
