For about two centuries, the community of Sordevolo has been autonomously staging the Passion of Jesus Christ, taking care of every organizational and artistic detail. It is a choral play, performed by young and older amateur actors, about the last hours of Christ’s life. The tradition of the show is handed down through the generations – all the children carry out, every year, a version of the story – and it can be defined as a unique and innovative form of theatre. The performance takes place in a vast open space, with a reconstruction of the city of Jerusalem as it looked in the year 33 A.D.: Herod’s Palace, the Synedrium, Pilate’s Prætorium, the Garden of the Olives, the Cenacle, the Mount Calvary. The show consists of a prologue and twenty five scenes, with the overall participation of four hundred actors and walk-on characters.
