Don Juan, or, The Wages of Debauchery!
A traditional Czech Marionette play with some not-so-traditional
touches; adapted and directed from an anonymous play of itinerant puppeteers by Vit
Horejs.
In this production,
Downtown meets the Folk Tradition. High and low, live performers and puppets of
disparate sizes are blended to a startling comical and sometime touching
effect. The puppets include antiques, puppets designed and constructed by
master carver Jakub Krejci, toy puppets by Prague-based Milos Kasal, and a
giant surprise by Alan Barnes Netherton. The actor/puppeteers are Deborah
Beshaw, Otis Cotton, Tess Wonson, Vít Horejs and Theresa Linnihan. Costumes are
by Theresa Linnihan and Egypt Dixon. Set design is by Theresa Linnihan and Alan
Barnes Netherton. Music, performed by John Bowen, is composed expressly by
Court Kappelmeister Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
