Molière’s Dom Juan was the first collaboration between Alexander Golovin and Vsevolod Meyerhold (1874–1940) for the Imperial Theatres. The designer and director recreated the atmosphere of splendour and festivity in the “scented and gilded kingdom of Versailles”. Dom Juan was resolved in the spirit
of a theatre at the court of King Louis XIV. There was no curtain, the prompters were located in full view of the audience, and the auditorium was lit. Golovin was well acquainted with the artists of the Alexandrinsky Theatre and designed the costumes with specific performers in mind. His outstanding creations helped the artists to fit lightly and naturally into the scenic images.
