"In the musical "Casanova", the main character is the famous lover Casanova - a legendary figure of the 18th century - a man with diverse interests - merchant, politician, diplomat, philosopher, poet, writer, wrote several plays and over twenty books, most of all known as the great lover of Venice. In our story we look at this man from a slightly different angle. Every man dreams of embodying in his own life the man who has become a symbol - the male seducer Casanova. The director's gaze ironizes pure male vanity, passes through comedy and even reaches the grotesque in the finale. At the heart of the musical is the text, which is developed in the show in its second plan - quite ironically. A text that is based on Casanova's autobiographical work, namely The Story of My Life, in which he immortalizes his amorous adventures."
