DramaHistory

As played out by a theatre troupe, the last days of Jesus Christ are depicted from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, his betrayer. As Jesus' following increases, Judas begins to worry that Jesus is falling for his own hype, forgetting the principles of his teachings and growing too close to the prostitute Mary Magdalene.

VIBE

This rock opera pulses with raw energy and a rebellious spirit, reimagining a sacred narrative through a distinctly 70s lens. It's a passionate, often frenetic, exploration of faith, fame, and human fallibility, driven by an iconic soundtrack and bold, theatrical staging. Expect a visually and aurally striking experience.
