Don Quixote! Don Quixote! is an adaptation of our site-specific promenade performance Rocinante! Rocinante! It premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival as a co-production Panta Rei Theatre and Pleasance Theatre. The production is part of Panta Rei’s long-term project on theatre and mental illness. in collaboration with Dr Zerrin Atakan from the Institute of Psychiatry.
"During our Edinburgh adventure we discovered that our piece was too wild and too ‘anarchic’ to cope with the constrains of a conventional end-on blackbox theatre. As a result Edinburgh’s magnificent outdoor sites and in particular Arthur’s Seat became incredibly inspiring for the Pantas. We had the opportunity to play with the magnificent surroundings and people in the streets rediscovering our characters and their world all over again. And another journey into Don Quixote’s world of entrancing imagery, bizarre characters and magical encounters began…this time in a surprising, powerful and unexpected scenario!"
Performed at the Pleasance Dome, Jack Dome - Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2012 with the support of The Charlie Hartill Fund.
