The cast is made up of 150 people, including children and adults, and more than 50 people are involved in the production. According to Jéssica Moraes, all the participants “are from the sanctuary community, they are not actors, but they said ‘yes’ and came.” They are prepared “technically and spiritually,” she said.
He explained that preparation for the staging began in October 2023 and its main focus was spirituality. “As it is a spiritual project, we had a retreat, close monitoring by the rector, Father Rodrigo de Castro, and vigils. This year the focus was really on looking at the spiritual.”
For Moraes, although everyone knows the story of Jesus, it is often covered in a superficial way”, hence the need to “live the experience” to “transmit it to others.”
The staging of Passion of Christ – The Experience It will take place on Good Friday, at 7 p.m., in the sanctuary parking lot, with free admission. The expectation is to receive around 20 thousand people and will be broadcast live on YouTube.
