Alois Carries Jesus Lang Oberammergau Passion Plays Signed
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense moment during the 1934 Oberammergau Passion Play in Germany, as actor Alois Lang carries the cross bearing the image of Jesus. The annual Passion Play in Oberammergau is a unique and deeply rooted tradition that dates back to 1634, with the town's residents promising to perform the play every ten years as an act of gratitude for being spared from the bubonic plague. In this powerful image, Alois Lang portrays Jesus with profound solemnity and dedication, his face etched with the weight of the cross and the burden of his impending crucifixion. The crowd, gathered in the background, watches in awe and reverence as the play unfolds. The photograph is signed by Alois Lang on the bottom right corner, adding an intriguing personal touch to the image. The date "1934" is also inscribed, making this a rare and valuable piece of history. The Passion Play in Oberammergau remains a significant cultural and spiritual event, drawing visitors from around the world to witness the passion and commitment of the performers. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of live theatre and the deep connection it can forge between performers and audiences.
