After his betrayal, Judas did not go hang himself, but instead embarked on a 2000-year wandering, carrying the weight of infamy (his betrayal of Jesus), before reappearing in the midst of the Algerian desert.

Following a tragic news event, Dieudonné portrays a dozen characters who, in turn, give their version of the story.
Fimed at the Théâtre de la Main d'Or. Dieudonné celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Law on the Separation of Church and State, which was intended to dissolve sectarianism and lead the Republic toward universalism, only to observe its failure... while attempting to analyze the reasons why with humor.
Patrick and Sandrine Boulard have been separated for several years now. Patrick cannot get over the breakup and breaks into his ex-wife's house one night. She files a complaint. The trial begins. After leading the public to believe that the show had been canceled, on the pretext that he had lost his "license to make people laugh," Dieudonné explains his weariness with controversy and his decision to choose a lighter subject. He thus reprises the character of Patrick, drawn from Patrick's divorce, and has the judge, the lawyers, and Patrick himself speak during the trial. This is followed by a series of sketches dealing, as a whole, with the relationship between men and women.
From politics to politicians, from the media to the justice system, from your neighbor to even himself, Dieudonné really targets everyone in an uncompromising portrait of our society, tinted with vitriol.
Dieudonné receives his friend Patrick. The latter is in the midst of a depression following his divorce from his wife Sandrine. Dieudonné then comes to talk about couples' problems, romantic encounters, the effects of several years of married life, the role of a parent, children in the midst of divorce. In the course of his development, he even comes to the subject of war, religions, the attacks of September 11. In short, a whole program!
Dans ce nouveau tour de piste, Larocque aborde des sujets qui ne sortent pas nécessairement de l’ordinaire mais, en revanche, l’angle qu’il utilise est intéressant. Courts, efficaces et toujours aussi punchés, tous ses numéros font mouche, et ce, sans exception. Dans Vu d’même, Sylvain Larocque est drôle, intelligent et surtout très pertinent. De tous les spectacles de l’artiste, celui-ci est sans aucun doute le plus achevé. Bref, c’est évident, l’humoriste est au sommet de son art. D’entrée de jeu, l’humoriste a tenu à remercier son public d’avoir osé venir le voir, et ce, malgré son apparence. «Je sais, je n’ai pas l’air d’un gars qui, après le spectacle, va aller gambader nu dans un champ de marguerites. Pas que je n’aime pas ça mais, quand ça fait deux fois que tu te fais arrêter par la police, tu comprends le message…» .
