Don Giovanni — the film

A film by kolorblind.

Eine der bekanntesten Opern der Welt — herausgelöst aus ihrem gewohnten Raum und dorthin gebracht, wo man sie nicht erwartet. Vier Sänger:innen erzählen Mozarts Mythos in der Zentralbibliothek Düsseldorf und im Ratinger Hof — dem legendären Club der Düsseldorfer Subkultur. Ihr Chor: zehn Jugendliche zwischen 14 und 18 Jahren, die noch nie auf einer Bühne gestanden haben. Und vor ihnen ein Mann, der seit 240 Jahren ungestraft verführt, lügt, sich entzieht — Don Giovanni.

What happens when these young voices confront him?

Two filmmakers — Lennon Holder and Leon Marx — documented the entire process with their cameras. First as observers. Then as part of the space. Until they no longer stood out. Until they were simply there.

The film begins at that moment.

A process involving rehearsals, discussions, and personal stories. An approach — and a contradiction.

A film about a generation that appropriates Mozart.

Afterwards, the artistic team will remain in the hall. Singers, director, and filmmaker will answer your questions — and tell the stories that didn't fit into the presentation.

Also: a first glimpse into Figaro's voices, freely adapted from Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro — the conclusion of the Mozart-Da Ponte trilogy. From autumn 2026 at the Goethe Museum Düsseldorf (Jägerhof Palace).

Mozart belongs to the city
