Vow

A music theatre piece that explores the core of human existence. The custom of “tama” (vow, offering), deeply rooted in Greek tradition, unfolds as an enduring act that unites the Divine with the human, and the past with the present. The performance delves into the lives of ordinary people from different generations who, through trials, pain, and miracles, make a promise to a supreme force as an ultimate call for help.

Through storytelling, live music, and movement, the performance Vow explores the human need, illuminating the fine line between faith, superstition, and sacrifice. The performance’s text is composed of materials based on true accounts of people, ranging from the past to the present day. Three actors reenact the journey from trial to promise, sacrifice, and anticipation of the miracle on stage. The performance combines elements of traditional art with modern directorial methods, where music, speech, and movement function as allegorical tools.
