Don Quixote, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 19 January
Today, people dream of a world and life different from the masses, wear clothes and a mask to overcome everyday life and strive to make the world around them better, at least by condemning its decline. But a lonely person is thought to be mad by many people, and is marginalised.

The contemporary Don Quixote is a man who has been deceived, and is transformed from an ironic and carefree dreamer into a tragic character.

Sancho Panza provides the basis for the Wandering Knight’s story, but the performance is about the courage to fight the frustration that he faces when encountering reality.

Nowadays, we go through a cruel vision of reality in which there is no room for imagination, fantasy, expectations and for the realisation of an existing project with which we can identify.

Life always forces unusual compromises, defeats and sorrows onto us, but with a touch of idealism every madman can be wiser than what they imagine and they can discover their true essence in spite of every appearance. Their existence.
