Originally, the Ball Parlat del Sant Crist de Salomó was performed outdoors as a street spectacle. Since 1972, under the guidance of the Institut del Teatre de Barcelona, it has been performed in the church. The performances take place on the first four Sundays of May at noon, and the seats are numbered.[1]
