Overview

• The production opened August 16 for a limited run through August 31 at Teatro Helénico with weekend performances and tickets available online and at the box office.
• Sebastián Silveti stars as Judas alongside a Mexican ensemble that features Silverio Palacios, Nailea Norvind and Enrique Arreola in a purgatorial courtroom setting.
• Director Marco Vieyra recast the judge role to embody a “very Mexican” justice system marked by high impunity and public distrust.
• Blending historical and anachronistic characters, the staging uses black comedy to probe themes of betrayal, guilt and redemption.
• Vieyra staged the play as a form of social critique, selecting actors for emotional depth and employing a “comedia delirante” to challenge spectators’ moral judgments.
