THE PASSION PLAY
A promise. Living history. An experience. Gripped by war, poverty and plague, the villagers of Oberammergau, in Bavaria, southern Germany vowed to put on a 'passion play' every ten years… That was back in 1633. They survived and performed the first Oberammergau Passion Play in 1634. Ever since their descendants have carried out the pledge. For the past four centuries the tradition has continued, every ten years. Only villagers are allowed to take part. A year of their lives is devoted to re-enacting the life, death and resurrection of Christ. All performers are laymen and pursue their usual careers as wood carvers, house wives and so forth... In real life for instance Jesus is a psychologist and Mary Magdalene works as a flight attendant. By taking on their roles in the Passion Play, they fulfil the promise to God made by their ancestors, celebrating their faith and sharing it with the world... ...as the people of Oberammergau have done for some 375 years.

In our opinion this was one of the biggest Incoming projects for the Austrian and Bavarian Tourism industries in the year 2010! Click here view a powerpoint presentation (9MB) »
