This talk examines two theatrical pieces, El pan y la sal (Bread and Salt, 2018) and Jauría (Pack of hounds, 2019), which provide public sites for discussing trials that have mobilized public opinion in Spain: the 2012 trial of Investigating Judge Baltasar Garzón, accused of violating an Amnesty Law forbidding any investigation of crimes related to the Franco regime, and the case of la manada (the wolfpack, 2017-19), a group of five men accused of raping an 18-year old woman in Pamplona.
