Summary/Abstract: A review of the opera Don Giovanni directed by Pippo Delbono (Wielki Theater in Poznań, premiere: 22.04.2014). The author notes that Delbono is among the most important artists in today's experimental theater. The originality of his productions derives, to a large extent, from the director's presence on the stage. This time, however, the director does not appear, though he does inaugurate the play with a monolog from off stage. Comparing Don Giovanni to Delbono's previous work, Kireńczuk concludes that the director is breaking from the theatrical aesthetic he has built up over the years, while the play itself is strongly evocative of Giorgio Strehler's theater.
