Charming… egocentric… philanderer… recently wed, Dom Juan is about to commit another adultery against his new wife and sets out in pursuit of his next amorous conquest accompanied by his servant, Sganarelle. Dom Juan is remorseless, unrepentant and has a voracious libido. Sganarelle is clever and pious but ambitious and challenges his master’s libertine views as the pair engage in a deep and hilarious philosophical debate. Dom Juan is a light, dangerous, charming, and addictive comedy that follows the last day of the legendary playboy’s life.
Performed by a bilingual cast. Anastasia Revi’s direction is a feast for the senses where theatre, comedy, music, and masks create a labyrinth, diving into the aesthetic of a Venetian festival. French classical 17th century prose mix with masked Commedia Dell’Arte and a soundtrack from the Cinecitta era. After capturing the imaginations of playwrights, poets, and composers for stage, opera, and screen such as Lord Byron, Mozart (Don Giovanni), Patrick Marber (Don Juan in Soho), or even Johnny Depp (Don Juan de Marcos), our show is a sensorial experience like a Fellini movie, where dreams and desires mix, making Molière more modern and Dom Juan more relevant than ever.
