A provocative rock opera that reimagines Christ's final days through Judas's doubts, blending theatrical spectacle with theological questioning and spiritual weight.

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.
