“Don Quixote”
With the collaboration of the Metropol Theater in Tirana, Klau’s Film Association
builded the Don Quixote Puppet Show with all the characters, scenographies and
costumes. Presentation The spirit of Don Quixote continues, even now in 2018.
Cervantes gave life to the bravest knight-errant in the history of literature whose
impact has been notable in painting, film, music, poetry, literature and, of course,
theater. Hand in hand with the puppets and the narration of the actors, we go
through the story, with lots of humor, to create a positive predisposition of the
child towards the Cervantes work and to introduce it into the cultural knowledge
of this classical novel, noted as the book of books. Synopsis In the first part of this
exciting story, we will find an overflowing action of Don Quixote, and a quiet but
very sweet Sancho Pancha. Then the rampant imagination of Quixote goes through
battles, challenges, fights, loves, storms and impossible nonsenses that we will
live with the first exit from home of our protagonist. The confrontation with the
windmills is the most beautiful moment of the show. The children see what he is
seeing and fighting, giants. Don Quixote had been so engrossed in the reading of the
novels of chivalry that he came to lose his mind, but that was never an impediment
for him to continue putting on his armor and looking for new adventures with his
faithful squire Sancho Pancha and his horse Rocinante in the desperate research for
Dulcinea. In the second part of the show he goes to the Inn to have some rest, tired
of all the battles and the long road. He presents himself to the innkeeper and his
wife as a nobleman but he destroys their Inn and their wine.
