In 1999 Gray Veredon, a British choreographer fascinated with the history of the city of Łódź created a unique ballet show. He looked at its residents and development of social relations at the turn of the 20th century from his own perspective and dedicated his production to Łódź: to the past and the present of the city.
The production was inspired by a novel written by Władysław Reymont and a film adaptation of the novel directed by Andrzej Wajda. The action takes place at the end of 19th century. A group of three friends: a Pole Karol Borowiecki, a German Max Baum and a Jew Moritz Welt, decide to settle in Łódź and set up a textile factory.
Veredon created a faithful adaptation of the novel and preserved the most important themes created by Reymont. It shows the story of Anka, hopelessly in love with Karol, his affair with Lucy Zucker, intrigues of the competition, and the character of crude Müller. But the main protagonist of the play is the city itself and, most of all, the silent creators of its power, the laborers of Łódź: weavers and dyers. Promised Land is a deeply moving show about the cultural identity of Łódź.
