If it serves the story then I don't see a problem. But it must be entertaining - be interesting for the reader and provoke imagination; it should catch the reader's attention - to work as a hook. Every intro should be a representation to the whole literary work in a way. It should not be long to become annoying (maybe filter only the interesting parts). And the statement should be correlated to what you want to convey with your writing. It might be a good idea to be something controversial and to raise questions. Also it should fit the rhythm of the rest of the discourse and suit the mood.
If I had to place such a thesis as an intro I'd leave a lot of information blanks which to be answered/revealed later.
And last, remember that all the points above might be valid or invalid for your case.
