“El Tren de Sóller”- the act
During the train ride, the musical guests are accompanied by the charming and sympathetic at first glance Susanne from Berlin. Susanne travels for the first time by train to Sóller. She is excited, looks a bit lost and does not know what to expect on the trip. Love has led her to make the journey into the unknown to Sóller.
The turbulent ride through the Mallorcan countryside brings Susanne and the other traveller’s lives and the people in Majorca closer together. Strange encounters of different cultures and language practices make the trip varied. Susanne soon makes connections with the other passengers. Susanne beautifully describes her feelings and thoughts to the passengers in rousing melodies. Susanne’s beloved Miguel, his character a musician, responds with an equally soulful voice. Miguel tells the travellers that he can no longer stand the wait and the confinement of everyday life in the tranquil village of Sóller. He decides to travel to Berlin to find Susan and bring an end to his longing. Not knowing that Susanne has already embarked upon her journey to him.
