Molière’s work provides the playground for a mutifaceted re-writing, a joyful drama where comedy and tragedy meet head to head to create a metamorphic character who – despite, and maybe, because of his boundless, ever-changing nature – preserves a certain degree of self-coherence. Far fromincarnating the role of a trivial womanizer, a female collector inclined to indulgein endless flirts because of the strength of his instincts or outof boredom, he stands out as an individual obsessed by his abnormal will of power – an imperious need for self-assertion originating in an existential void with some hints of metaphysical spleen shadowed by a desperate fear for failure. This Don Juan is a Lothario who rips off the mask concealing not only his face, in an act of revealing which bares an entire society: the cool-blooded, cynical world of hypocrisy, meanness and double standards where he is stuck himself.
