About
If love is a mortal sin, let's burn in hell!
Falling for Jesus is a mortal sin. But damn, it feels good! Good South American altar boy Jesús is preparing for his first communion but when he looks at the hot man on the cross, he feels something... unholy.
Catholic guilt collides with unrepentant queerness in this sinful, heart-pounding mix of live music, dark humour and Latin heat. From Alpaqa, JEEZUS! is a musical as irreverent as it is irresistible, tackling colonialism, religion and queer awakening. If Bo Burnham, Brecht and Bad Bunny had a baby, this would be it. Let's burn in hell!
Winner of the 2025 Untapped Award.
Also at Underbelly 31 July - 24 August as part of Edinburgh Fringe.

About the Company
Alpaqa is the collaborative efforts of Sergio Antonio Maggiolo, Laura Killeen & Guido Garcia Lueches. They create work about urgent political topics, whilst at the same time being as silly as possible. Sergio & Laura have a long history of collaboration, writing and performing together with the London Neo-Futurists since 2017. Sergio & Guido are a real life couple and frequently collaborate in each other's projects. JEEZUS! is their first full-length show together.
