Don Quijote

In the organizer's words:

after Miguel de Cervantes, by Peter Jordan / Directed by Peter Jordan, Leonhard Koppelmann

The sun is burning, the horse is hungry, Sancho is tired - and Don Quixote is spinning his wheels. He tilts at windmills, tangles with supposed barbarians and yet only wants what is good and best for himself, his beloved - and the whole world to boot. Is he crazy, daring or just funny? What longing drives Don Quixote, of whom everyone seems to have a picture, but no one really has any idea what he is? Why did he attack the windmills? And what does that actually mean: just funny? "I'm really losing my mind! Everything I pretended to be, I'm really becoming!" he claims. A steep template for the play, the theater - and the joke. The very free rewriting takes this to the extreme. It relies on turbocharged acting, timing, slapstick and a good dose of wistful delusion. A mixture that aims to show how enjoyable theater can be if you take humor seriously
