Éléonore in three phases: twelve weeks in Corsica, twelve days in Andalusia, twelve hours in Montreal. Don Juan in three incarnations: in Corsica, he’s Clément, a ladies’ man who’s fading fast; in Andalusia, he’s Don Miguel Mañara, who dreamed of seducing a thousand and two women; in Montreal, he’s Byron and his last unfinished poem. Love, its truth and its lies. Life and death hovering over us.
