Summary/Abstract: What is the secret of Don Juan? Why does this rebellious sybarite revelling in adventurous stories keep reappearing in the history of drama? Don Juan is an artist of the fleeting moment, who makes a game of everything, embraces every principle and idea, if only to oppose them. For Don Juan nothing is sacred. He assumes different identities as if they were costumes. He juggles these roles as he juggles the people he meets along the way, who are not real people to him, but extras, roles, masks and spectators – spectators of his life’s performance. Ádám Fekete and Péter István Nagy have written a new Don Juan story that evokes the most important elements of the myth and frees it from the ballast imposed on it.
