Don Juan and I

An uncompromising documentary story of today's Don Juan from Vysočany. An urgent probe into reality, about which one cannot say with certainty that it is reality — the world that surrounds a person does not actually surround them. What surrounds them are only Platonic shadows on the cave wall, of which artificial intelligence is nothing but a shadow that is seen right now. Don Juan and I is a reflection of human existence in the soul of a language model, which in itself is nothing but a plastic silhouette of human knowledge in the linguistic realm.

The play in this sense is an unbridled celebration of humor and love — directed by Hana Burešová with Michal Isteník in the title role.

The comedy was written by playwright and mathematician René Levínský directly for the Theatre in Dlouhá in close collaboration with director Hana Burešová and dramaturg Štěpán Otčenášek.

Don Juan has mastered the art of seduction in the digital age — in the world of social media and internet dating apps. His ability to seduce is unbeatable, whether through words, images, or emojis. "I love the thrill of online hunting. But for that I need constantly new and improved algorithms," he reveals with pride and impatience. The play offers a personal perspective on the modern world, where traditional boundaries of interpersonal relationships are blurred by the rapid progress of technology — and a critical view of the digital age with nostalgic remembrance of the traditions of the past.
