Every ten years since 1634, the Bavarian village of Oberammergau has performed the worlds most famous Passion Play, recounting the last days of Jesus Christ. In 2010, presenting the play for the 41st time, the village broke with tradition to offer a new interpretation for a post-millennial, international audience. Drawing on interviews with villagers and international responses, this collection of new essays provides an analysis of the play by scholars who attended. Topics include changes in response to charges of antiSemitism, how the play defines the village, how the performance changes the audience, and a comparison of Oberammergau 2010 with American Passion Plays, Indian pilgrimage drama and other German Passion Plays.
Scholars of theater and German literature discuss the 2010 production of the passion play that the Bavarian village of Oberammergau puts on every decade. Among the topics are the role of their lives, or Jesus on a bike: Oberammergau on stage and off; dialectical aesthetics of change and continuity in the 2010 Oberammergau passion play; spiritual voyeurism and cultural nostalgia: anglophone visitors to the Oberammergau passion play 1870-1925 and 2010; tableaux and selves in Vrindavan and Oberammergau; and passion playing: an interview with US playwright Sarah Ruhl on the shaping influence of Oberammergau.
