Don Giovanni, der Film

Don Giovanni.
A film by kolorblind. Idea and production: Die komische Oper am Rhein

One of the most famous operas in the world - taken out of its usual space and brought to where you wouldn't expect it. Four singers tell Mozart's myth in the Düsseldorf Central Library and in the Ratinger Hof - the legendary club of Düsseldorf's subculture.

Their choir: ten young people aged between 14 and 18 who have never been on a stage before. And in front of them a man who has been seducing, lying and evading with impunity for 240 years - Don Giovanni.

What happens when these young voices contradict him?

Two filmmakers - Lennon Holder and Leon Marx - accompanied the entire process with their cameras. First as observers. Then as part of the room. Until they are no longer noticeable. Until they are simply there.

That's when the film begins.

A process between rehearsals, discussions and personal stories. A rapprochement - and a contradiction.
