Vesper Public Relations. February 2018. Celebrating the 14th anniversary of the play ‘Jesucristo Vive – La Pasión’ has become the biggest and most traditional play about Christ’s Passion in Southern California.
The intention of this play is to transmit a positive message of Christ’s love to all generations especially millennials who have experienced this love through their parents and the generations before them. As the Passion has done for generations this play is expected to encourage the development of faith, and freedom of religious expression.
This play showcases the particular story of Jesus’ journey, his apprehension and crucifixion.
Today the play is of major importance. With the immigrant community affected by the government decisions about DACA and TPS. “Jesucristo Vive- La Pasion” brings them a positive message that gives them the power to keep struggling and succeeding against the struggle.
The play becomes an event that goes beyond theatrical act or liturgical celebration; its core construct is meant to have a lasting effect on history, society, culture, spirituality and politics.
“Jesucristo Vive – La Pasión” also aims to be an immediate positive contribution to our community. With that in mind for every ticket sold a portion of the costs will go to the non-profit organization Padres Contra el Cancer (Parents Against Cancer) (http://www.iamhope.org/) using code PADRES.
How do actors prepare:
The play features more than 200 actors on stage, under the direction of Freddy Moza for well over 13 years. Once again the role of Jesus goes to Mexican born actor Keven Ramirez who lives in Los Angeles; and from Argentina, P. Ruben Fco. Bellante will be directing reflections from the public who are part of the play as well.
The play is mostly cast with Latino actors; the majority from Mexico, Central and South America who reside in Southern California, The actors donate and contribute their talents for more than 7 months of practice.
The actors are selected during different castings in the counties of Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino. Each personification for this story (Jesus, Maria or Herodes), or any other character, counts with actors of all ages and all denominations of Christian faith from Catholic to Protestant.
The physical training for the actor playing Jesus is hard. The actor has to walk two days per week carrying a heavy piece of Wood, similar to the one Jesus carried, weighing nearly 150 lbs. and the cross for the crucifixion weights 250 lbs.
To complete this play, a variety of animals are included such as: donkeys, goats, chickens, pigs, pigeons and more. The practice takes place at Santa Rosa de Lima Church in Maywood, California, every Saturday and Sunday for 5 hours.
