Judas – International Theater Amsterdam

Anyone who hears Judas thinks of betrayal. He is the man who extradites Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. That's the official version. But there is also one Gospel of Judas in which Jesus asks to betray him, in which Judas does what he does because Jesus himself asks him to do so. And that is remarkable, because Judas' action leads to the death of Jesus on the cross.

Robert Icke became fascinated by this other version of the story and brings it to the stage in its world premiere: Judas as the true, perfect disciple of Jesus. A performance about the positive side of betrayal.
