EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from the 1922 Oberammergau Passion Play, depicting Judas before the Sanhedrin. The traitor Judas, portrayed by Guido Mayr, stands in front of an assembly of rabbis who are playing their roles in this renowned theatrical production. The Oberammergau Passion Play has been performed every ten years since 1634 by the villagers of Oberammergau in Bavaria, Germany. It tells the story of Jesus' passion leading up to his crucifixion and has become a major tourist attraction drawing audiences from all over the world. In this image taken by Henry Traut at his Atelier, we see Mayr embodying Judas Iscariot with great intensity as he faces trial before these high priests. The dramatic costumes worn by both Mayr and the rabbis add depth to the scene, transporting viewers back to biblical times. Traut's skillful composition captures not only the actors but also highlights their emotions through subtle nuances in facial expressions and body language. This photograph serves as a testament to Traut's talent for capturing powerful moments on stage. With its historical significance and artistic appeal, this official postcard from 1922 offers us a glimpse into one of humanity's most enduring stories - that of Jesus Christ - brought to life through passionate performances and unwavering dedication by amateur actors in Oberammergau.
