Circa Two Presents DON JUAN

Don Juan is a party that tells a story. A sexy, fierce, raucous celebration.

Brought to you by the award winning theatre company, A Slightly Isolated Dog, the world première of this story of Don Juan is opening at Circa 2 on April 25th, and runs until May 23rd.

Tickets: $20 students; $30 unwaged; $35 waged | Toi/Drama students select days $12 |

The show uses a cabaret structure: the performers move seamlessly from clowning to scene to song to banter to song to stand-up comedy to interactive audience participation to song to puppetry to dance to song. Using simple stagecraft they transform the world of the bar into a forest, the ocean, a battle with 20 bandits, a tomb, many taverns, Don Juan's home, and eventually the hell that Don Juan is dragged into at the end.

The performers will create the story for us as they search for how to live boldly and freely, like Don Juan. They question our repression and domestic anxieties: our desire to be bold and our fears that often keep us from doing the things we want most. They try and fail to find these answers; ultimately celebrating our uncertainty and our continual attempt to live big.

A Slightly Isolated Dog have won many awards over the past several years for Death and the Dreamlife of Elephants (2009, 2011), Perfectly Wasted (2012 - in partnership with Long Cloud Youth Theatre) and Settling (2007).

Directed by Leo Gene Peters, and starring Maaka Pohatu, Andrew Paterson, Susie Berry, Comfrey Sanders, Jonathan Price.
