There’s a crash in the Franconian Passion Village: Is it too loud on the open-air stage – or are the residents hypersensitive? The Zoff exposes behavior that is difficult to reconcile with the story of Jesus.
There are wonderful stories about the passion plays in Sömmersdorf in Lower Franconia. For example, when hilarity breaks out in the audience at a point that is not at all designed for hilarity. It is communion and Jesus says to Peter: Before the cock crowes twice, he will deny him three times. The official crowing comes from the production line, followed by an unofficial one from the village, from a real rooster who obviously doesn’t want to let the butter be taken away from his bread. What they are like, the roosters.
