A theatrical performance of the Passion held in Torreblanca, in the Castellón comarca of La Plana Alta, since 1979, staging the final moments of the life of Jesus and his Resurrection. It began in 1978 on the initiative of a group of young people from the Teatro Torreblanquins collective and premiered on 12 April 1979; since then it has been performed once a year, on Holy Thursday at ten at night, on various open-air natural settings around the municipality. It consists of seventeen scenes lasting approximately two hours, with the dialogue entirely in Valencian. It is declared a Fiesta de Interés Turístico de la Comunitat Valenciana (official tourist-interest festivity designation) and considered a Bien de Interés Patrimonial (heritage-interest asset listing).
