Didier Galas

"How to embody a legend and how to steer clear of the psychological pitfall that would boil down Don Quixote to a maniac or a messiah" were the two questions that Didier Galas grappled with while conceiving this stage version of Cervantes' novel. In this Quichotte, every actor and every actress can play Don Quixote, Sancho Panza, a donkey or a windmill. These shifting incarnations capture the hallucinations that Alonso Quijano (the protagonist) endured - and the questions about reality that this story raises.
