Don Giovanni all'inferno
Don Giovanni in Hell is
a performance by Odin Teatret in two acts, directed by Eugenio
Barba. In it, Don Giovanni wanders on the bottom of the sea, in the
belly of sea-wrecks, among splintered pieces of the statues that
made history. Odin Teatret confronts the apparent outdatedness of a
classical work. It is a heretical evaluation, deeply respectful of
tradition and yet at the same time engaged in struggling against
it. In this direct confrontation, recognised and rejected values of
the past shake off their dust, with a joy that surprises and a
ferocity that troubles.
Don Giovanni doesn't believe in hell. After death, "we will
roll on the bottom of the sea among stones and shells. Fish will
eat us". While awaiting the minute leviathans that will annihilate
them, the fugitive libertine, the Guest of Stone, the seduced
women, the defrauded servant and the disenchanted lover
reciprocally lacerate themselves, casting a last glance at
the spectators.
