The traditional Christmas performance, which involves 200 actors, was forced to rebuild wooden structures damaged by strong summer winds and rain.

The Ardèvol Cultural Center has completed the renovation of the set designs for its Living Nativity Scene, which will be performed over six days between December and January, following significant damage caused by summer storms.

Jaume Palau, president of the Ardèvol Cultural Center, explained that strong winds and rains last summer necessitated a deep renovation of wooden structures, some of which had been installed for nearly thirty years. This work included rebuilding small houses and stables, as well as completely renewing the wall located behind the soldiers' scene.

"The nativity scene creates a lot of community. You meet up again with neighbors and relatives you hadn't seen for a while, and it's a way not to lose relationships."

As an artistic novelty, this edition incorporates the soldiers' armory, a new tableau that will display costumes and props already owned by the organization. The performance maintains its 35 scenes and mobilizes nearly 200 participants, effectively doubling the usual population of Ardèvol.
The Ardèvol Living Nativity Scene will take place over six days: December 21, 26, 27, and 28, and January 3 and 4. With two daily sessions (6:30 PM and 7:30 PM), the total capacity is 3,000 tickets, more than half of which have already been sold.
