Don Juan is searching for the unique in the diverse, for the infinite in the finite. He dares to do and think what nobody else does. He obsessively strives at ever-higher aims. He wants to find out how far he can go, where that certain limit is. The heavens will punish him – say the people. I believe it when I see it – says he. And still, who could resist such a man?
Don Juan, the genius hero of Moliére has been touring the world’s stages for over 350 years, and now he arrived at the Pesti Theatre.
The permission of Bertolt Brecht’s succesors was conveyed by the Suhrkamp Verlag AG (Berlin) and the Hofra Kft.
