"My true self is unknown to everyone, and most importantly, I have not been able to discover
it myself." - Don Juan
The play is centered around the spiritual crisis of the hero, who is searching for love but ends
up losing himself in the process.
Passions, mistakes, and therefore - severe punishment are all part of this play, as well as
adventure and the quest for truth or love in this world.
Review
"Don Juan" by Jean-Baptiste Moliere (with the inclusion of fragments or passages of the works of Alexander
Pushkin, George Byron and others), staged by Levan Tsuladze, is a play created with a free interpretation of the
text and a new understanding of the main character. The genre of perromance is from eccentric comedy to
drama and also extends beyond. Despite the fact that "outwardly" nothing seems to have changed, neither the
environment, nor the costume, nor the hairstyles of the characters, nor the staging and performance methods of
the "classical" theater, the immortal, legendary literary symbol (which for four centuries was always filled with
new features), in the 21st century, lost many characteristics, transformed signs and transformed into a new
image. . And perhaps freed from the burden of "the most sinful man”. This is the drama of a young man, with a
romantic and sad tone, who could not find a "personal" place in this world, nor happiness, nor peace, nor the
justification of his existence. Levan Tsuladze investigates the reasons for his behavior and personal "captivity"
and traces a path in a new direction.
