The Meeting After the Denial, 1922
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a powerful moment from the Oberammergau Passion Play, an iconic theatrical event that has captivated audiences for centuries. In this photograph, taken by Henry Traut, we witness St Peter (played by Andreas Lang) denying Jesus (played by Anton Lang) three times before ultimately repenting. The Oberammergau Passion Play is a grand spectacle performed every ten years in the village of Oberammergau in Bavaria, Germany. First staged in 1634 as an expression of gratitude for being spared from the bubonic plague, it tells the story of Jesus' passion and crucifixion. Over time, it has evolved into a major tourist attraction drawing people from all corners of the globe. Traut's image encapsulates both drama and emotion as St Peter grapples with his denial and experiences remorse. The costumes worn by the actors add authenticity to their portrayal while also showcasing early 20th-century fashion trends. This postcard serves as a memento of this historic performance and highlights Traut's skillful photography capturing a pivotal scene within religious storytelling. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as faith, redemption, and forgiveness that resonate across cultures and generations. Through Traut's lens, we are transported back to 1922 when amateur actors brought biblical narratives to life on open-air stages against picturesque Bavarian landscapes. This photograph stands as a testament to the enduring power of theater and its ability to connect individuals through shared stories and profound emotions.
