JEEZUS! is a musical theatre show from Alpaqa, performed at Belly Button during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It follows Jesús, a good South American altar boy preparing for his first communion, who looks at the man on the cross and feels something unholy. Catholic guilt collides with unrepentant queerness in a mix of live music, dark humour and Latin heat. The show tackles colonialism, religion and queer awakening, and runs for 60 minutes. It is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A musical that tackles queer awakening, colonialism and Catholic guilt through live music and Latin energy. Irreverent, heart-pounding and performed with clear conviction — ideal for anyone who likes their theatre to take a stand.
