Tim, a young medical doctor, is on his flight back to Europe after having served in a hospital in some major African city for five months. His plane crashes. Coming down Tim makes a vow: if he survives, he will go back to Africa to stay there forever. The pilot accomplishes an emergency ditching, and Tim is faced with the decision of either complying with his vow, or settling back into his old life in Europe. The young Swiss playwright Dominik Busch uses an experimental narrative form to raise the question of both the existence of a non-rational, spiritual power and the values on which our decisions are founded. The Vow is one out of three award-winning pieces honoured at the writers’ theatre festival at the Deutsche Theater Berlin.
