What's it about

55th edition

The Living Nativity of Els Prats de Rei, active since 1972, is a true heritage jewel. It stands out as one of the few in Catalonia where the actors speak live and for having a musical oratory composed specifically for the work. The streets and squares of the town transform into a grand stage that, with the strength of the script and the sets, transports the audience to ancient Palestine, where more than two thousand years ago events took place that have marked the history of humanity. The setting, the actors and the staging turn the town into an immersive space that makes the audience feel part of that historical moment. In addition, the nativity incorporates animals in a natural habitat, such as hens, chicks, ducks, sheep with their lambs and many others, which add authenticity to the stage. Traditional crafts that have almost disappeared can also be seen, such as basket weaving, shoemaking or pottery, recreated on the crafts street to preserve the memory of this cultural heritage.
