By staging this great Molière classic that is Dom Juan, David Bobée, director of the Théâtre du Nord, continues his work of revisiting great literary, historical, or mythological figures, as with Peer Gynt, which the Luxembourg public was able to see during the 18-19 season.

David Bobée's production, whose arrival at the Grand Théâtre was postponed from the previous season, seeks to answer a burning question that animates the public debate: should we unbolt the statues whose stories encumber us? Should we rewrite the texts of the repertoire, or decide to no longer perform them? Indeed, the character of Dom Juan is in turn classist, sexist, glottophobic, dominant... But David Bobée's bias is to stage this story, to better contextualize it, and give a critical reading of it, and perhaps ultimately to better symbolically unbolt said statues.

Dom Juan is a bastard, he is also a hero. This type of figure whose stature still feeds our imagination, must be treated with all the complexity it deserves. In a cemetery of immense statues unbolted, fallen from their pedestals, Dom Juan is embodied by Radouan Leflahi who, with Peer Gynt, will have proven that one can be, on stage, an admirable scoundrel. This is a political reading of this work, but which will not hide the qualities of its narration.
