24 - 30 June 2013

Every five years in Maria Kirchental, Lofer, Jesus and his disciples can be found enjoying a few beers before the performance of the Loferer Passion, re-worked 30 years ago by local composer Cesar Bresgen from the remaining pages of a 250 year old manuscript. In typical historic passion play tradition, it takes place every five years, and in typical small Austrian village tradition, most of the cast have been playing the same parts for 30 years.
