Theater with Passion
The story of the Oberammergau Passion Play. Additionally - up-to-date - the preparation of the performers for the 2022 spectacle. Premiere photos included!
The last days in the life of Jesus. Every ten years, the entire village of Oberammergau dedicates itself to this theme: with its Passion Plays. What began in 1634 as a fulfillment of a vow after surviving the plague has been repeated every ten years since then. In 2020, the world theater was postponed due to COVID-19. In 2022, the 2000 participants will finally celebrate the 42nd Passion Play. A bilingual (German/English) companion book. With texts by Christiane Lutz and photographs by Sebastian Beck.
