Inhalt

First performed in 1662, the Oberammergau Passion Play was one of numerous similar events linked to local traditions and religious practice. Today it is a public event of global relevance. The seminar focuses on how the Oberammergau play evolved as a generator of various transnational and transcultural ad-hoc-communities (Warstat). In looking at the constellations of the play, its functions, and the respective audiences, the seminar also proposes a broader historical perspective: The evolution of the play text and its performances shouldn‘t be thought of as pending on a telos or intended by a (collective) subject. The revisions of the text are reactions on critical voices pointing at either theological or political matters and/or on the expectations of its respective audiences. Thus, change is emerging out of shifts in the constellation constituted by religion, tradition, and community. In the seminar, we will discuss the pictorial record and different versions of the play text as well as (historical and actual) reviews since the enormous transformations of the performances and their function in mid 19th century.
