Don Giovanni/Juan - Many different things, actually. A novel, opera, play, etc. The statue story I'm familiar with is from the Don Giovanni opera. It follows most of the show which is a very comic opera about Giovanni, the unrepentant lech and despoiler of women. Giovanni doesn't fall in love with the statue, if I remember correctly, but the statue speaks to him. He mocks the statue and jokingly invites it to dinner. Then it actually shows up. At the end of the meal, the statue casts Don Giovanni into Hell - because, in that pre-Mamet day and age, all sinners in theatre had to burn.
