the people of obama go have been bringing the life and suffering of jesus to this stage. it's a gigantic amateur play. half the village joins in. we're not talking about 10 or 20 people here. there are around 2000 people participating. it's a big show and i really have to see that luckily i have a ticket. so let's go in. we just have to follow the crowd. by the way, the performance less, more than 5 hours, but there's a long intermission in between. i'm really excited. the so called fits in house with specially built for the passionately 4500 people fit in the auditorium. on the stage there is room for $600.00 performers and then it starts. ah, the people flocked to the temple in jerusalem. you don't have to be

a christian to be drawn into the story. jesus also arrived at the temple. do you recognize him that the guy took itself with the gun? it's just caught this house. oh, nice decide my nuts. ah, it alternates between acting and singing. only people from obama. go sing in the choir. he knock 50 mine out. yeah. yeah. not that bad. the passion of the participants is very impressive. oh, it's okay. yeah. if i have to keep reminding myself that these are amateurs on stage here, not a trained actors on phone. there are books and various languages for non german speakers to read along and follow what's happening.

ah. but the most emotional moment is certainly the crucifixion scene that has this toy plot that get a lot of what you think about the passion play when they don't we are more really beautiful. yeah, i felt real that we went lateral. aaron, was that the link between the old and new testaments and music, the acting, the satellite morsey? it was. oh great as i brought up yet though, it's just incredible actors. the, the music is outstanding. it's just, it's very emotional. i love it. and what was the most special part of it? what do you think when jesus washed his apostles feet moving?

absolutely amazing. it takes a couple of hours. do you think it's too long from time to time or it was all right? no, not at off. time went rather quickly cuz you were so engaged in a moment. you understood the story and they just moved it along. was it was incredible, was very passionate, casual play. what dedication hills pheasant i asked us. it's our 1st time here. and the 3rd time for our friends and was until we were really moved, we shed a tear or 2 and got goosebumps many times. silicon. incredible look like young laplace visitors, flock, 2 buses, hotels and restaurants. meanwhile, i'm meeting in the theaters dressing room with one of the actors by tablets. this is the one isn't gen while you were born obama golf. how many passion place has it been for you to sit to 7? when you says on the app, is there a dream role? do you the little boys in over? mike, i will say i want to be jesus one day line. run vista things. no,

no. i'm totally happy. plain joseph of arrow mafia. i played them in 2010 already. it's a wonderful role. it comes to literally lisa, it's life a beautiful to biblical figures. with nicodemus and joseph of aramis fear were. advocates of jesus among the high council jesus or the camps. how did the passion play actually come about in a thank you. lost that he had gotten out of her, say to the pin that i think might be pissed. in 1634, there was the plague and the 30 year war helped people vowed that if god spared them from the plague, then every 10 years they performed the passion of christ laden will stand as of yet . so you keep a promise every 10 years and at forever in oliver small to settle here so far since 1634. i'm the athletic vow. did that develop? it's quite a big show, isn't it? not knowing c o, but it's thomas cook. yeah. there. why are you didn't 9, do you the tour operator thomas cook was here with me tonight. he was actually

a priest with one. so to long he came with a group at the 1st foreign guest at that time, hope to have something, you know, thomas cook said. so if you build a roof over where the audience sits, i'll bring you even more people mock. so that's what they did was um, so the theater is still the one from 1900. 1 young international audience has grown and grown. and so i'll just tell implanted it. but it wasn't fog. and, and what about the beard and hair? is that something jam like or dislike? it was in the guns for when he needed loosened and gave it up. can i had it cut the 250 as a sure it comes with the territory. it's nice if it's something you wouldn't normally do. but for us and obama go, definitely part of the tradition is letting our hair grow out. once every 10 years . it may look a little weird, but there's something special about it. little is good. then booker to half a 1000000 people visit obama. golf for the passion play,

they come from the united states, south america, scandinavia, germany and many other countries. and they all stroll through this small town, or these shirts remind me of bands when they were on tour. and here are all the tour dates. ah, you'll definitely notice these colorful paintings on the house facades here called lifted paintings, and you can find them everywhere in southern germany. take a look of beth. my name's also taken from the bible. one eye catching sight is the hotel i had to post, which has been there since $1612.00. it's even older than the passion play and the bus at the hotel until ties in also takes part in the performance management if you

take part in the play. so why don't you have a beard, where it's the long hair of the puzzle in schools, and i didn't see a big yet it'll in the romans and the passion play are very coveted roles because the romans were occupiers. soldiers, they shaved and had short hair because mr. hardy on to help them also, especially among younger men and over i'm ago, it's desirable to be one of the romans in the bases. and i'm lucky, not many people over 50 like me get to play a room. but you, me over 50 and play the roman governor. punch a pilot. the pilot is a villain. what is it like you play such a role to do? to move out of his control and it's quite nice. it's often more of an acting challenge to play a bad guy than it is to play the good guys or more dole characters until they love a legal 15 years or for natalie wilkinson. if you wooden painted to dynamic got

on top of that. these are on the hill these in my mind, the hotel you're in normal life, so not pilot at all. well, i have to make this is a how do you manage working in the hotel? for me, my stage is still had i was for them as a lot so it's a challenging, stressful time. you couldn't do it every year. but every 10 years you have the energy for that. what a good thing is when i'm on, stay the guests during the audience. and if that means a hotel is relatively quiet, i pick from target because if that and vice versa, when the guest throughout the hotel, there is no performance. so i can be there working on the 15th. unless you course, there are all the hours you spend at the liter out the think it's an exceptional year. it can be quite a challenge to least uncle who had i was for little about that little, but it's worth it. i just assume that the 6 months will pay off react law as

a bit us. half a 1000000 tourists come to oberon mcgowan a 6 month period. you'd have to be doing something wrong, not to profit in what's and the famous bavarian king, lucy. the 2nd does, you know if you also watch the passion play as well, she doesn't call can't get the belief that he was given a private performance after he invited the main actors to the lender hall palace. he gave them all golden spoons anyway, but the traitor, judas only got a tin one. blake at the various king lou via the 2nd didn't have to stay in a normal place like ordinary people. not far from here. he had his own small domiciled build linda old palace with even the grounds of linda hope palace are work of art there. elegant, playful,

and serene ludovic. the 2nd loved the area even without the passion play, he would have built a small pleasure palace here for the release of king. this was a fairy tale welt, that reminded him of that sign. in this vestibule he pays homage to his great role model. louis the 14th of france politic. the 2nd, the son king was everything a villa should be powerful, influential. unsuccessful. this magnificent bedroom is also reminiscent about cy, theoretically, literally, could have received his coat here, like the sun king did at versailles. but little loved solitude. by the way, no prizes for guessing that balloon was favorite color. ah, the dining room is most famous for its table. it would be set down in the kitchen, then lifted up stairs using a crank mechanism. this way lid,

vic gathered his imaginary company of the french coat. he's even said to have had pretend conversations with them. food was always prepared for 4 people. and finally, the whole of maris ludovic was a night owl. he only rarely came here tearing the day. but after dark by candle light, the effect of the maris must have been breathtaking. ah, linda, who is the only one of la fix, ambitious palaces that he live to see completed? ah, ah, obama go is full of surprises. looks like a tree stump, but that,

oh, it's art. i woodcarving has a long tradition and obama go. you can also watch many crafts people at work such as use if i build the roots of his family business, go back to 1556, he tells me it is mainly churches the united states that phyllis ordered books but passion play visitors are also happy to buy a souvenir, even if it's not cheap. after all this isn't industrial production, it's skilled man, you will work. continuing on that theme of skilled manual work, i'm had it to the hairdresser actually had dressers shouldn't have anything to do here, but they're open and i have an appointment here. hello. look

i lucas. great to have you send us the syllabus that's supposed to me yesterday for your time. to be honest, i would have thought the hair salon would be close because people are letting their hair grow out. so why would a hairdresser even be open these days? long long hand needs to be cared for to night and we do trims and take care of people's beards. guns, the hair on the upper lip. it can be a difficult job. fair because cannot put your trip my hair while we talk differently of nevada. the show about me soon, but but too much. i'm just this is do you all to take part in the passion play with ya. that mich been yelp added? yes. and my birthright means i'm allowed to perform him survey this miss a mitch been would be muffled. my aunt, how do you do that? it's busy here in the salon. how do you manage the play and work in albany?

i so it's been been, i have to, i'm part of the entry into jerusalem. i'm at the theater at 2 o'clock and finished at 4. then i come back here to work. when you set it up for me. ma'am, let their hair and beard grow out. when i'm doing women also have to do this for the passion play honda. oh my god, i swear mainly how to send it up. yes, i've grown my hair out. women grow. there's too as much as they can. i did was support as a guy. so gobby, normally i don't have a beard, but i let it grow, bid for the person, play it. how do you think it looks? but i think i saw salva. it's a very striking good douglasville. isn't that not? what is it like after the passion play them just every one come up and have their hair cut worn english below at us? i sufficient guns and if yes, that's really something special. after the last performance, there's

a real run on the head, dresses of different it last a week or 2 to so then it's all over here and target i'm done is on the for by ah, gabby did a good job. now i make my way to the museum. the facades been covered over with costumes, from the last passion place in 2000 to 2010, very sustainable. you can buy a real pen like this. they cost $220.00 euros each. can find them on line inside the museum, this chord catches my eye. it's one continuous rope of hair connecting each exhibition room to the next. all the hair runs one and a half kilometers through the museum. and leave me to close,

forked the artist who makes this cord out of hair, water and cher, it's soap. the home. how long have you been doing? why short as a room. why exactly that? i don't know how. it was just fun in australia. i met some indigenous people who worked with hair, and i thought i could do that. and that is coming up here and obama go. we end up with huge mountains of hair every 10 years. in 2000, i started collecting the hair that performers and the passion play gave me. i meant to be that they came home from each individual's hair. i made a string and mr. mother now takes it in poll, we talk like talk of war. wow. oh, that cuts into the head kitty. so it's so tightly woven that it won't come apart.

because they've done smuggle in the hair of mine and immortalized me in this work. this long, of course, you know, your hair is too short, really, guys doesn't matter. just for the feeling the food so that you can see it need ah, i here is included has between the 2 years in the tutor. yours is the darker one. is just now you're in the string and leave decision to read. so. okay. at content you close for taking the time was happy felt april. i have to go by the kids. it was my thought, the look here and like mile group. ah . if you're ever in obama, go hang around for a few extra days. the landscape is just great. this lift takes me to a mountain, the so called quote and zeta,

which is 1250 meters high. a surprise awaits me at the top with but 1st i enjoy the view. somewhere back there in the middle of the alps, lice the hotels las m l. g 7 summit, which brings together the world's leading industrialized countries will take place there at the end of june. top secret, but we were allowed in ah, rooms with a view. schloss. l mouth is a unique getaway on the edge of the alps. it made headlines in 2015 when it was the sight of the g 7 summit. now, leaders from major industrialized nations are set to meet here again. the script calm is hardly another place in germany like this, and protected and secluded,

but still not far from everything. on an easy trip from munich. schloss, l. mows main building is more than a century owned. it has $115.00 rooms and sweets, the annex named retreat is far newer. it has $47.00 sweets, practically a hotel within a hotel, an ideal spot for the g 7 summit. the sweets were heads of state and government stay are virtually identical. that way, no person is favored over another. and the sublime alpine panorama is therefore all to enjoy their on 9 restaurants in total. the lucia doro has to mission installs as devises their call. michelle has the foundation is classic french cuisine, obama, and that's my background, of course, but it's much lighter hub. i use very little butter on so you can easily eat 7 or 8 horses without feeling completely stopped. which is

a lot of fun. las vegas all possible the 8 course menu costs 249 euros. and this junior suite, around 40 square meters, is available for about $700.00 euros a night. guests come from germany, switzerland, and austria, but also from britain in the united states. if you have the money, it's the perfect place to escape from the stresses of the world. except maybe when the g 7 summit is on. ah, and here's the surprise i promised you. the alpine coaster a summer to bog and rough, super long, almost 3 kilometers. with no problem with

that was great. ah ah ah, oh i am ago is a very special place typically bavarian,
