Aterballetto is in Sassari, a superb Sardinian province, with Don Juan by Johan Inger.
The choreography stems from Inger’s desire to confront Don Juan, an ancient and still contemporary paradigmatic myth. The original comedy by Tirso de Molina, Molière, Bertold Brecht and the play by Suzanne Lilar are just some of the sources of inspiration: Inger and playwright Gregor Acuña-Pohl were able to consult twenty-five different texts inspired by the character.
In the creation we find all the characters in the story, from Donna Elvira to Donna Anna to Zerlina and Masetto. Don Juan can be considered a Kammerspiel, with its ability to emphasize nuances and emotions: and in the case of this creation, dance becomes a magnifying glass for the individual characters, and subtly but clearly reveals the inner worlds of the men and women on stage.
