It is also a tradition that is often accompanied by conflicts about texts, innovation and the design of the game. Because the Bible is serious business.
In the shadow of the last Passion Plays unfold the passion stories of a few passion players who struggle with contemporary dilemmas such as abuse of power, domestic violence, homosexuality, migrants, equality, but also the suffering of Biblical themes such as betrayal, exclusion and misplaced pride.
