JUDAS

About the show

When you hear the name Judas, you think of betrayal. He is the man who agreed to hand over Jesus in exchange for 30 silver coins. That is the official version. However, in the Gospel of Judas, Jesus asks Judas to betray him, which means he did it because Jesus himself had asked him to. And that is strange, because Judas’ deed leads to the crucifixion of Jesus. Director Robert Icke became fascinated by this other version of the story and brings it to the stage in a world premiere: Judas as the true, perfect disciple of Jesus. A play about the positive side of betrayal.
