Due to recent demonstrations held in Spain to protest sexual violence and the inefficacy of the legal system, staging the play El burlador de Sevilla in 2018 was a delicate and controversial act. At the same time, Josep Maria Mestres’s production proved necessary for raising awareness and promoting reflection on the patriarchal values embedded in the country. Both Mestres, the play’s director, and Borja Ortiz de Gondra, its dramaturg, refused to let pass the relevance this play holds for contemporary audiences, and for this reason their goal in the adaptation was to establish a meaningful dialogue between past and present that compelled spectators to recognize that the myth of Don Juan and the different types of violence that underlie it continue to resonate today.

蒂尔索·德·莫利纳（Tirso de Molina）创作的《 El Burlador De Sevilla》（塞维利亚骗子）

由于最近在西班牙举行了抗议性暴力和法律制度无效游行的示威活动，因此在2018年上演塞维利亚之歌剧《塞维利亚》是一件微妙而有争议的行为。同时，事实证明，何塞普·玛丽亚·梅斯特雷斯（Josep Maria Mestres）的作品对于提高人们的意识和促进人们对该国父权制价值观的反思是必要的。剧集的导演梅斯特（Mestres）和剧集演员鲍尔·奥尔蒂斯·德贡德拉（Borja Ortiz de Gondra）都拒绝让这部剧对当代观众产生影响，因此他们改编的目的是在过去和现在之间建立有意义的对话，观众们意识到唐Juan的神话及其背后的各种暴力行为在今天继续引起共鸣。
