JEEZUS! at New Diorama Theatre: Sacred Beats and Queer Liberation
JEEZUS! at New Diorama Theatre in London is an electrifying queer Latinx musical created by the theatre collective Alpaqa and written by Sergio Antonio Maggiolo and Guido García Lueches. Directed by Laura Killeen, the production reimagines the story of a young altar boy named Jesús as he prepares for his first communion in 1990s Peru, only to find himself grappling with unexpected desire, Catholic guilt and self-discovery in a world shaped by faith, politics and emotion. Through a blend of live music, sharp humour and stylised irreverence, JEEZUS! turns blasphemy into a celebration of queer identity and liberation.
