Don.Juan.Who?/ Don.Juan. Kdo?: From Cyberspace to Theatre Space

Abstract

This article traces the genealogy of the production Don Juan. Who?/Don Juan.Kdo? by Anna Furse. This was a co-production between my company Athletes of the Heart UK and Mladinsko Gledalisce, Ljubljana. The emergence of the production concept and its development by writing anonymously in cyberspace over eighteen months prior to live rehearsals is contextualised in consideration of the Don Juan archetype as he appears in historical and contemporary culture. The article is accompanied by a brief background to Don Juan in the culture in various media and the Production Programme.
