THE PROPHET’S ORDEAL
VOICES IN THE NIGHT
THE SUPREME AFFLICTION
THE CONVERSION
Amid the quiet moonlit rooftops of Jerusalem, a lone prophet wrestles with nightmarish visions that set his heart ablaze. Jeremiah awakens on a flat roof, gasping as imagined siege and burning temples swirl around him, his cries echoing through the still city. The opening scene blends haunting poetry with raw panic, inviting listeners to feel the fevered urgency of a man who sees disaster before it strikes.
Surrounding him are figures of power and faith—a king, a high priest, a weary steward, and ordinary citizens—each poised on the brink of a city’s downfall. As Jeremiah pleads for answers from an unseen voice, the drama unfolds in rhythmic dialogue that probes destiny, doubt, and the weight of prophecy. The first act sets a tense, lyrical stage, promising a rich exploration of belief and sacrifice.
