Description

Among the biblical apostles, Judas is the symbol of betrayal; the tradition of calling his name a byword has existed for nearly two thousand years. But that doesn’t stop people from continuing to search for answers to the question: why did Judas betray Christ, and for what reasons? What made him do it?
In Andreev’s Judas, we see a man of the 20th century in a world where “God is already dead,” where consciousness thrashes about in search of truth—where it can be explained in terms of distortions and anguish.
