The three years of Jesus' public life are reenacted against the natural backdrop of the medieval walls and fortification towers of the main square, with particular emphasis on his final days and his sale, arrest, and condemnation. The scenes represented in the square are: the Ramo or Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, the Samaritan Woman, the Last Supper, the Sanhedrin or sale of Jesus, the Dance of Death, the Garden of Gethsemane, and Pontius Pilate or the condemnation of Jesus. Once Jesus is condemned, the itinerary through the streets begins. Jesus leaves the square with the cross on his shoulders, surrounded by clergy and Jews, and heads toward the square of the Parish Church of Sant Julià and Santa Bassilissa, where the procession begins and the second part of the play begins.

The texts recited by the actors are based on those compiled by Friar Antonio de San Jerónimo in The Great Tragedy of the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ Our Lord, in the version published in Lleida in 1873. Based on these texts, modifications have been introduced over the years, such as those made by the Roca brothers and Lluís Muntada.

In 2009, under the direction of Lluís Llach, a major renovation and updating of the stage and costume elements took place, which significantly increased the visual appeal and flair of the scenes, bringing the entire performance, without betraying its essence in any way, to the aesthetic level required by the audience. 21st Century.
