Presentation

Don Juan is said to have seduced 1003 women. Leporello states that number in Don Giovanni. Once they had been abandoned, how did they live and survive, these 1003 hearts ? This play reworks the legend from the women's point of view. What remains, years after those moments of seduction and pleasure ? What had they liked about Don Juan ? What had their desire been like ? What fragments of him, what tiny details are engraved upon these lovers ? What images have been saved or retouched by the memory ? They were caught, set alight and soiled. But the absence of Don Juan becomes an obsession for them. They suffer. They open the painful diary of passion and separation. They emerge from a hypnotic state and are in agony.
