I imagine that the opera takes place on an empty stage where the different environments, the trains, the platforms, the tracks are part of a dreamscape. The entire drama is a journey between reality and dream, between hope and despair, between sadness and paradoxical joy, between love and hate.
We are in a time outside of time. As the victims of war take their first stumbling steps to try to reclaim their humanity.
The choirs are always present. Thus, this desperate love story rises out of a sea of other destinies – every now and then...
Because in many ways The Promise is first and foremost a story about the power of love. "Omnia vincit amor". Love conquers everything!
The drama is inspired by a real event.
