About this title

Synopsis:

A once-in-a-decade performance of The Passion Play comes to life in Christopher Thomas' beautiful photographs. Every decade a small German village in the remote Bavarian Alps continues a tradition that dates back four centuries to the time of the Bubonic Plague. All performers must be natives of the village, two thousand (nearly half the town's population) stage a retelling of the life of Christ. Each production draws millions of visitors from around the world to the town of Oberammergau to experience the performance. Christopher Thomas' photographs capture the drama, the colour and the spirit of community that makes this historic production an unforgettable experience.
