Just like in the past, nowadays, the Škofja Loka Passion Play takes place in the form of a procession: the actors make a circular path though the town and perform all 20 scenes at four different stages.
At four different venues (A – Town square, B – Square below the Castle, C – Lower square, D – Square of Freising City) there are static stages allowing the spectators to see the actors better. In front of them, there is an empty space envisaged for portable stages, which are either carried by porters or pulled by horses, as well as for riders and performers coming on foot. At each venue, the Play is performed in full. A large technical and organisational team together with lightning and sound technicians ensure everything goes smooth.
Venue D comes with a support allowing the deaf and the hard of hearing as well as the blind and the partially sighted to follow the performances.
