Don Juan, as a young, handsome, and unsuccessful artist, tries to escape the dead-end of his romantic and professional adventures by fleeing to his father's bar. There, discovering that his true talent is gaining followers, he sheds all moral boundaries.
He engages in a business of hope, offering the easy path to happiness to confused patrons. In his long theatrical and literary tradition of depictions, Don Juan symbolizes rejecting traditional values and seeking personal freedom. As a great lady-killer and blasphemer, he always appears indifferent to the consequences of his actions.
However, today, the modern Don Juan does not rebel. In a society of intense conflicts and ideological confusion like ours, he manages to survive by reproducing ideologies that serve only his personal ambitions and desires. This is an original approach to the classical hero, highlighting the timelessness and modern dynamics of the myth, re-examining his role in the contemporary world.
Don Juan, as the ultimate narcissistic symbol of our era, possesses two critical "talents": complete lack of ideological core and exaggerated ambition.
With these tools, he emerges as a leader without moral support, a dream merchant promising unlimited freedom, yet unable to foresee the destructive consequences that his superficial teachings may bring.
