Misteri d'Elx heat mitigation in Elche

Overview

Following instances of heat-related illness during rehearsals at the Basilica of Santa María, organizers of the Misteri d'Elx implemented immediate mitigation measures. These initial steps included opening the basilica’s doors, windows, and stained glass to improve air circulation, alongside the installation of fans in high-temperature areas and near stage machinery.

To address rising temperatures more sustainably, the Patronato approved a budget to replace the existing lighting system with LED technology, which generates less heat. Officials are also considering long-term adjustments, such as lightening the traditional costumes worn by performers.
