The fantasies of the legendary knight “Don Quixote de la Mancha” by Miguel de Cervantes come to life in Franco Antolini’s original rendition “El Cavalier de la trista figura”, alternating on stage the cheerful, fun, and entertaining narration of the protagonist’s exploits with the interpretation of the character himself, who, expressing himself in a macaronic Spanish, is made bizarre, grotesque, and certainly comically effective.
The audience is at the same time a spectator and a protagonist of the story and is repeatedly directly involved in the scenic action, ultimately assuming a role of active participation as the tale evolves.
A continuous succession between farce and drama, between the ridiculous and the tragic, between fantasy and reality, in the attempt to speak of human existence, its behaviors, its limits, its fragilities.
We look forward to seeing you!
