Resumen :
In the city of Elche, every year, on the 14th and 15th of August, a sacred musical play
about the death, the Assumption and the Coronation of the Virgin Mary is held. This
event, known as the “Misterio de Elche”, is unique in the world. Since the middle of the
15th century it has been performed in the Basilica of Santa Maria and in the streets of the
ancient city of Elche, located in the Valencian Community. In this work, classified as a
UNESCO World Heritage Site, the interior of the temple is transformed into 2 main stages,
the scaffold, located in the lower part, and the aerial stage, located in the dome at a height
of 27 m. The structure and the traction mechanisms located on the aerial stage allow the
aerial devices that take part in the play, “El Araceli”, “La Mangrana” and “La Santísima
Trinidad”, to be raised and lowered. It should be noted that between 2 and 5 singing actors
are embarked on these devices. This article describes the main characteristics of the aerial
stage structure, the 3 apparatus and the mechanical systems used. In addition, the age and
modifications of “El Araceli” are analysed, as well as the results of a non-destructive test
carried out on this device.
