Abstract
During the 1990s, Passion plays emerged as a new theatrical trend in the northwestern region of Argentina (NOA). This phenomenon began in 1993, with La pasion Tafi del Valle , presented in the touristy village of Tafi del Valle, located in the mid-western part of the province of Tucuman. Even though Passion plays are a new theatrical trend in the region. The Via Crucis established itself as a tradition in the NOA, where it continues to be practiced to this day. Following the success of La Pasion de Tafi del Valle, theatrical productions began to accompany the celebration of various religious and provincial holidays. The play's crew and cast see La Pasion de Jesus en Tafi as a cultural event that draws on the audience's religious sensibility to convey a political and social message. However, audiences, the media see the play as an alternative to the ritual of the Via Crucis. Keywords:La Pasion; northwestern region of Argentina (NOA); Passion plays; religious; Tucuman; via crucis
