The Oberammergau Passion Play – arguably the largest and longest-running Passion Play tradition in the world – depicts Jesus’ arrest, conviction and crucifixion at a spellbinding scale. It has also been at the centre of a controversy regarding its historic antisemitism and its efforts to reform, having engaged a director with a zeal for radically changing it. However, this article, informed by a large ethnographic study, argues that the feud that engulfed the town for decades – with reformers and traditionalists at loggerheads – has now abated. The 2022 Passion Play was made almost entirely by pro-reform locals, with traditionalists now outnumbered and sidelined, due to both their own choices and intentional exclusion by those at the helm. What remains of the feud has now changed shape, focusing not on the changes to the play but on the leadership style of the director.

一场激烈争斗的结束:2022 年奥伯阿默高激情剧和公众对进步政治的拥抱



奥伯阿默高受难剧——可以说是世界上规模最大、持续时间最长的受难剧传统——以令人着迷的规模描绘了耶稣的被捕、定罪和钉十字架。它还因其历史悠久的反犹太主义及其改革努力而成为争议的中心,因为它聘请了一位热衷于从根本上改变它的导演。然而,这篇文章以一项大型人种学研究为基础,认为席卷该镇数十年的不和——改革者和传统主义者的争执——现在已经减弱。 2022 年的《受难剧》几乎完全是由支持改革的当地人制作的,由于传统主义者自己的选择和掌舵者的故意排斥,现在传统主义者的人数超过了他们的数量并被边缘化。剩下的不和现在已经改变了形式,焦点不再是戏剧的变化,而是导演的领导风格。
