New Jerusalem is one of the world’s largest open air theatres. It is situated in the state of Pernambuco, North East Brazil. Every year, during Holy Week, the theatre hosts nightly performances of the Passion of Christ, with audiences numbering in the thousands. The principal actors are nationally renowned actors, often from soap operas, while the large cast of extras are drawn from the local rural community. Credit: Fraser McGruer / Story Picture Agency.
