This
immortal quest has captivated readers for over
four centuries. Don Quixote’s tale of courage
and madness is re-imagined with masks, magic,
and mayhem. Physical comedy at its finest;
brought to you in collaboration with Axis
Theatre Company, creators of the smash hit The
Number 14.
Incorporating mask work,
flamenco, bawdy slapstick and poignant beauty,
this new adaptation of the classic Cervantes
novel explores the comical and philosophical
world of Don Quixote, a retired country
gentleman, who has become obsessed with ancient
books of knighthood and chivalry.
Inspired by his readings, he
sets out on a quest to defend the helpless and
destroy the wicked, alongside his faithgul and
naive squire, Sancho Panza, to whom he has
promised wealth and power.
Preceded by their reputations
everywhere they go, they eventually find
themselves asking: who’s mad in a world gone
mad?
Don Quixote is a
passionate tale of adventure, imagination and
disillusionment. |
