An immersive experience in Neuchâtel: an interactive trial in which the audience acts as the jury and directly influences the final verdict.

In the General Council Chamber at Neuchâtel Town Hall, which has been exceptionally opened to the public, you are invited to take part in an extraordinary trial. Inspired by the major financial scandals of the late 20th century, this immersive experience transports you back to 1989, to the heart of the trial of businessman Bernard Boisgentil.
The person behind the ‘Success’ scheme in Neuchâtel is facing a determined prosecutor. Amidst legal arguments, manipulation and revelations, you won’t just be a spectator: you’ll become a member of the jury.
Your decisions directly influence the outcome of the trial, blurring the lines between fiction and reality. Justice, money, citizens’ power: it is up to you to judge.
