CASANOVA

An original play by Lucie Trmíková. The life story of a legendary seducer.

THE LIFE STORY OF THE LEGENDARY LOVER GIACOMO CASANOVA, WHO SEDUCED HIMSELF. STARRING LUCIE TRMÍKOVÁ AND MARTIN PECHLÁT. "I will write my life. To make myself laugh. I laugh out loud and grow younger, which is why they consider me a madman. The cynicism I put into my writing knows no bounds. But you wouldn't believe how much I enjoy it. Without blushing, I have noticed that I love myself more than anyone else; moreover, I blush because I do not blush. I cannot call it 'Confession' because I regret nothing, and without regret, forgiveness cannot be achieved. I tell and tell to make myself laugh." Giacomo Casanova, a promiscuous free thinker, purposefully believing man, and notorious liar. A charismatic seducer who spent his whole life running not only from the beds of his lovers but primarily from his own soul. He offered an experiential ride that he knew how to monetize properly. A sought-after entertainer in the highest echelons of society. A charming storyteller, bursting with energy and charm. He considered himself a great writer, but apart from his published memoirs of his escape from the Venetian prison, his books were failures. He was an amateur scientist, philosopher, politician, and reformer, but he mostly failed to promote his discoveries and theories. He loved life, women, good food, and luxurious lace. There is only one thing he does not mention even once in his memoirs: his career as a snitch and informer. Meet the portrait of human nature that is timeless and still relevant. In addition to Casanova, we will encounter the wealthy alchemist Marquise D’Urfé, the mysterious nun Anima, and the virtuoso harpsichordist Monika on stage.
