In a setting where monumental statues lay on the ground, as if in a cemetery for fallen gods, what becomes of Don Juan’s excess, a hero more complex than it seems? How to catch the beauty of a founding text when its representation recalls the most detestable of contemporary dominations? When we call great figures to the stage, we might risk debunking some of them symbolically. David Bobée has undergone a long journey, and La Villette tagged along starting with Lucrèce Borgia and then with Peer Gynt. A prolific artist engaged against all kinds of discrimination, the new director of Théâtre du Nord excels in the decolonization of arts by crafting splendid transdisciplinary and influencing shows.
