I, Judas, the Scapegoat - Kultursommer 2026

What's it about?

In his play "I, a Jew - The Defense Speech of Judas Iscariot" (original title), Walter Jens gave a voice to the traitor Judas as a deeply conflicted man who was sincerely convinced of Jesus' mission, but was disappointed in his expectations in the course of their shared history.Director Alfred Meschnigg, in an expanded adaptation with Peppe Mairginter in the title role, attempts to detach the term "traitor" from the person of Judas and his demonization.
