A general who has betrayed his king and failed in his marriages encounters the legendary Casanova in a magical new play.

Playwright and director Pasi Lampela intertwines the fates of a marchioness, a general and an adventurer in lucid prose. Stranded between battle lines, their former lives gone, they find themselves cut adrift from reality. Having fled the revolution in Paris, the marchioness seeks a new role as a modern woman – intellectually, sexually and emotionally. Cursed by his former king, Sprengtporten awaits an assignment from the Empress of Russia. Casanova, a tragicomic figure, journeys towards his inevitable end – yet with his last ounce of strength, he writes himself into world history.
