The satirical novel "Don Quixote" written by the Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes in the 17th century is considered the first prose novel of Western Europe and one of the most important works of world literature. It ironically depicts the life of various strata of Spanish society at that time, allegorically exalts humanistic ideals, shows the contrast between reality and intelligence. The main characters - the noble idealist nobleman Don Quixote confronting the pragmatic environment and his practical, primitive servant Sancho Panza - have become symbols of two opposite types of man and reveal the dualism of human nature.

According to the director of the performance, Adam Juška, "Don Quixote" is an inexhaustible work, almost indecipherable, which does not lend itself to any single interpretation. The idea to build it came about two years ago. Don Quixote as a character is a symbol of humanity for me. I think he embodies the universal desire to become something else, something closer to your dreams and aspirations. In a world abandoned by God, man can only be created by man himself. This is what Alonso Kichana does, believing in novels about knights and riding out into the world himself to live as a knight-errant. This is a story about faith in a broad sense. About an individual's encounter with a world that does not give in to him, about efforts to impose his imagination and values ​​on that world. Basically, it is a work about human existence in the world with other people. It would be a mistake to say that Don Quixote only believes in fictions and does not understand reality. As you actually read the book, it becomes clear that the boundaries between reality and fiction are almost invisible, and Don Quixote is much more like each of us than it might appear.

Premiere: 2020 November 27.
