Horice passion play, Open-air passion theatre in Hořice na Šumavě, Czech Republic.
The outdoor theatre features traditional biblical performances through large-scale productions with actors portraying scenes from the New Testament on its stage.
Jakob Stabernak designed the original theatre structure in 1893, creating a space that attracted more than 80,000 visitors during its early years of operation.
The performances connect audiences with religious narratives through theatrical interpretations, maintaining a tradition that spans multiple generations in the local community.
Performances take place during summer months, with tickets available through the official website for both local and international visitors to attend.
The venue hosted the filming of the first full-length movie of passion plays in 1897, marking an early intersection between traditional theatre and cinema.
