A stage adaptation of Romain Gary's autobiographical masterpiece by Josep Maria Flotats
This is the story of a man and his relationship with his mother, a visionary and indestructible woman who, from the very beginning, decides that her son is destined for an extraordinary life.
She promises him a future of glory; he promises her that he will live up to that dream.
This is an account of Romain Gary's life, from his childhood in Russia to a youth shaped by war, exile and the construction of his own identity. A harsh yet deeply ironic and humorous story; a tale of contrasts, loyalty, tenderness and social commitment.
Promise at Dawn is the story of a man striving to fulfil an impossible promise: to become the man his mother imagined him to be.
