Comedy by Peter Jordan, very loosely based on Miguel de Cervantes
Just saving the world! No problem for the megalomaniac martyr Don Quijote, who, as the "Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance," fights against windmills and supposed barbarians, driving his faithful companion Sancho Panza to despair. Has the man for whom Sancho left home and farm completely lost his mind by now?
Torn between doubts, loyalty, and utter exhaustion, Sancho decides to end the adventures and return home defeated. But then he realizes that Don Quijote's madness is just a facade...
In his very free adaptation of Cervantes' famous novel, the author Peter Jordan plays a wild game with genres and literary motifs, ideals, ideologies, and identities. Four people embody the most different characters in rapid succession, sometimes knights, sometimes a talking horse, sometimes a corrupt civil servant, until the confusion is complete. A homage to the magic of theater under the hot Spanish sun.
