Don Quixote, Which Was a Dream
Nona Demey Gallagher / KVS
Through an iconic character, Nona Demey Gallagher creates a distinctive universe where humour and social critique collide with a wild imagination.
For the first time, Nona Demey Gallagher (A Room Of His Own, Copyriot, Up Your Ass,…) takes on a classic from the repertoire: Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. The story of a wandering knight who, driven by chivalric ideals, mistakes windmills for giants, has become one of the most renowned novels in world literature.
This theatrical reimagining draws on an adaptation by experimental punk writer Kathy Acker. Her novel Don Quixote: Which Was a Dream (1986) transforms the Spanish nobleman into an American dreamer searching for love in a loveless society. Together with writer Jana Antonissen, Gallagher develops a contemporary quest in which dreams are not an escape from reality, but a way of reshaping it.
With Gene Bervoets, Zita Windey, Lotte Vanhamel, Jonathan Kazanga Linga, Fiene Zasada, Romy Louise Lauwers and live music composed by Nid & Sancy.
