Welcome to our auditions for Immaturus’s mainproduction for the autumn semester 2026—a timeless staging of Don Juan, as written by Molière and translated into Norwegian by Hanne Herrmann; now directed by: Ivar Aakre Moberg and Sebastian Sjøvold!

and
Thursday - 18-21 in "Speilsalen" also in the second floor of Kvarteret

Don Juan is one of the most notorious characters in theatre history. For over four hundred years, he has repeatedly appeared in works ranging from Shakespeare and Mozart to The Phantom of the Opera and countless other contexts. Despite this long history of reinvention, Don Juan consistently retains his distinct identity and defining traits: a hedonistic, unscrupulous womanizer.

Don Juan promises to be an ambitious production, blending historical eras into an explosive mix. We have plenty of cool ideas, but we need YOUR help! A production is about far more than just actors and a director; we need dedicated people to help us bring this play to life. Whether through costume design, set construction, hunting for props, PR, sound and lighting, or other production roles—everyone is warmly welcome to join! Whether you have absolutely no experience or heaps of it, we would love to have your help! Even though the play will be in Norwegian we will gladly welcome the help from non-Norwegian speakers to be part of this production, maybe in minor roles or as a part of the wider production team. We will gladly take you on!!

Don Juan embodies the spirit of the Enlightenment—a deliberate warrior standing on the front lines against moralists and hypocrites. Now, four hundred years later, we must ask ourselves what we actually learned from the stories of Don Juan—and, perhaps even more importantly, what we should have learned.
