The eternal myth of love and desire. A man with a thousand faces. Seducer, cruel, heroic… Who is DON JUAN, really?
Two unique evenings in Helsinki.
After setting the world’s great stages ablaze, Szeged Contemporary Dance Company returns to Helsinki with a gripping work: DON JUAN, choreographed by visionary choreographer Tamás Juronics.
Since his literary birth, the myth of Don Juan has both fascinated and scandalised. Over the centuries, ideas of family, love, marriage and sexuality have changed radically… yet the enigma of Don Juan endures. Who is he, truly? A hero of passion or a ruthless predator? A sentimental lover or a cruel seducer? A narcissist consumed by his own desire, or a free man daring to live without guilt?
On stage, DON JUAN unfolds like a storm of excess and contradiction. At times tender and beguiling, at times relentless and destructive, he embodies the ambiguity of the human condition. For deep down, Don Juan knows neither remorse nor regret: he lives in the moment, for pleasure, never acknowledging the consequences. A timeless figure who probes our relationship to desire, fidelity, and the eternal game between men and women.
In a flamboyant staging with explosive physicality, extraordinary dramatic intensity, and dancers of incandescent energy, Tamás Juronics’s DON JUAN transcends eras and conventions to become a disquieting mirror of our contemporary world.
A tempest of passion, desire, and tragedy.
An unmissable highlight of the season.
