About the event
Of course, it cannot end well when a single man publicly claims to love all women at the same time, even if he is a master of seduction. And so what must happen happens. The supposed hero and heartbreaker is not heard by one woman, pursued by another, hunted by her family and at the same time the woman he loves drowns. One misery follows the next. Sometimes with a wink, sometimes with a sly tone, Don Juan grapples with the big and small problems of a lover. But nothing can dissuade the master of seduction from his love for the fairer sex.
It is only a short step from women's skirts to criticism of a hypocritical society. Suddenly the incorrigible womanizer switches from simple advice for aspiring Casanovas to merciless criticism of society.

“All beautiful women have a right to set me on fire.” – It takes an oversized ego to say something like that. But hardly anyone has as much right to say this sentence as the greatest seducer of all time.
Almost 20 years after the premiere of his successful program, actor and director Horst Dinges has decided to bring the egomaniacal womanizer back to the stage. And where could that be better than here at the Wilden Michel.
Even though his teeth are no longer as firm and his hair now grows out of his nose instead of at the back of his head, this Don Juan hasn't forgotten anything. And so in his witty theatrical monologue he whistles behind all the women's skirts as long as they still sound halfway decent, gawks at the women unashamedly and proudly tells the audience about his love affairs. And before you know it, you're in the middle of this story of fairly successful attempts to win over the fairer sex. In no time at all, personal views on men and women turn into tongue-in-cheek attacks on a bottomlessly immoral society. The cheerful theatrical fun of the incorrigible womanizer Don Juan ranges from simple tips for relationships to murder plans to pointed, witty criticism of a society that hasn't really changed, even if it sometimes seems that way.
