The Passion of Ulldecona

A show about the life and work of Jesus full of theatrical dynamism, where the sequencing of the scenes will immerse the spectator in a story full of tenderness, despair, emotion, tension, joy..., which will not leave anyone indifferent.

500 years of history

In 2012, a unique document from 1512 was discovered in the Chapter and Diocesan archives of Tortosa, which certifies that more than 500 years ago, religious representations were already being made in Ulldecona.

In the Parish Archive of Ulldecona, within the "Book of Resolutions of the Clergy of Ulldecona (1558-1840)", a manuscript of a "Descent" was found that was studied by Jaume Romeu Figueras in 1962 and dealt with appropriately in his work "The texts on the Descent from the Cross in Catalonia". The document in question is a text of 248 verses that was part of a set of acts or pictures on the passion of Christ.

Recently, representations of this fragment of the manuscript have been made, in old Catalan, and it is known as the act of the "Descent from the Cross".

More than 60 years of performances

The current Pasión de Ulldecona was born in 1955 at the hands of Josep M. Rafí Poblet. After interpreting several reworked texts, in 1964 the Spanish version by Josep M. Junyent Quintana premiered. In 1993 this text was alternately combined with a new text in Catalan by Jaume Vidal i Alcover, and from 2014 the Catalan version by playwright Ignacio Rueda Fábregas premiered, after making a more current version of the evangelical text based on the original work by Junyent Quintana.
