We have always been interested in the subject of  The Passion. With the passing of time we came to the conclusion that spectacle should tell the story about the painful death of Jesus Christ in a little different way from liturgical traditions. Therefore, the main characters in our spectacle are Marie Madeleine and Judas. We made a decision to view Jesus’ love from Marie Madeleine and Judas’ angle. In the story we moved back all physical aspects and focused on spirituality; hoping that in this way we would be able to understand Judas and his suffering after  committing a sin, and forgive him not to weaken ethical-moral categories but to calm down the evil and  show the power of love, which in case of Marie Madeline caused such spiritual transformation, needed so much in today world. In response to our expectations Henryk Jachimowski has written a poem, consisting of  reflective songs that are results of our shared deliberations. Music composed by Paweł Łukowiec  sustains our interpretation and  maintains dramatic nature of the theatre performance.
