The literary myth of Don Juan and the marionette theatre are intimately linked. In central Europe and especially in Bohemia it were the travelling companies of marionette players who propagated the legend of Don Juan throughout the centuries and still today you can find the large wooden marionettes of the National Marionette Theatre in Prague in a performance of Mozart's Don Giovanni.
As a tribute to this long tradition the City of Prague has decided to install the "Marionette Dancer" of Anna Chromy next to the "Czech Musicians" on Senovážné Námesti.
