Rehearsals from fall
Judas, a human being: casting soon!
A new musical is being created: The first presentation took place on the Oberberg.
Judas betrayed Jesus and condemned him to death. At least that's what the Bible says. However, there are some doubters of this thesis, first and foremost the Catholic theologian Wolfgang Treitler from the University of Vienna. He argues that he was not the traitor, but rather one of Jesus' close followers. Like other theologians, Treitler believes that this account of the betrayal was only included in the text when the Gospels were written down, i.e. around the year 70 AD.
But who was this Judas Iscariot? Military priest Alexander Wessely also addresses this question. Wessely painted a completely different picture of Judas at the 2022 Passion Play. He gave him a lot of space and, above all, placed his inner turmoil at the end. A scream that went through his marrow and bones was a reflection of this inner turmoil, the despair of having caused the death of a human being.
And when the first song of the new play says "What have I done?", then we can also ask ourselves how much Judas is in our actions. And how strong our faith is. And can faith also include doubt?
These considerations were also the driving force behind the new musical, which Wessely will bring to the stage with composer Thomas Steiner. The stage design will be in black and white, as will most of the costumes. The text and music will be finalized by June, then a non-profit association will be founded and the choir and extras will be cast. Rehearsals are scheduled to begin in the fall.
