from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Confrérie de la Passion is an association of Parisian citizens founded in 1398 , which acquired the license to perform the Passion Play . 1402 he was by Charles VI. with a free letter encumbered.

The competition that she experienced from the Bazoche cooperative and later from the Enfants sans souci society forced her to work with professional actors and incorporate secular elements into the Passion Play. The extensive " Mystère de la Passion " performed by her was famous . The Confrérie de la Passion gave its performances first in Saint-Maur near Paris, then in Paris in the Hôtel de la Trinité , since 1539 in the Hôtel de Flandre , most recently in the Hôtel de Bourgogne . The set-up of their stage was the usual for mystery plays at the time and consisted of three parts. Later suppressed by a parliamentary resolution, the Confrérie de la Passion came to an end in 1615.
