Every ten years since 1634 the German village of Oberammergau has
performed the world's most famous Passion Play, recounting the last
days in the life of Jesus. In 2010 the village presented the play
for the forty-first time, breaking with tradition in a number of
ways to present a new text for a post-millennial, international
audience. In this volume, seven international scholars who attended
and witnessed the Oberammergau Passion Play analyze and respond to
the experience. Their essays analyze the way in which the play
defines the village, how the performance changes the audience, how
the play has changed in response to historic charges of
anti-Semitism, and compare Oberammergau 2010 to American Passion
Plays, Indian pilgrimage drama, and other German Passion Plays. The
volume explores the play from interviews with the villagers who
perform it to international responses, including engaging the
tension between international perception of the village and the
actual activities of the villagers in performing the play.
Oberammergau 2010 tells us a lot about religion, culture and how we
tell stories from the seventeenth century to the present.
