What's it about
The life of Miguel de Cervantes proves to be as fascinating as his own literary work. In his novels we find imperial 17th-century Spain and the decadent Spain of impostors and vagabonds, masterfully described by a misunderstood young man whose dream was to be a knight and fight in defence of Christendom. His life reveals the hardships of a poor student, a soldier without fortune, the incomprehension of his wife Catalina, his miserable trade, his time in prison, and the mockery and plagiarism of his novels. Cervantes lived in several worlds at once without finding himself, unable to tell his life apart from his characters — or perhaps he could? In our show we present the ingenious life and work of Cervantes condensed into just over sixty minutes. A duo of two actors who leap between his works and his life like card sharps, showing us reflections of reality and fiction hard to distinguish. A dizzying show full of ironies and jokes with the audience, fun and educational, a spectacle for dreamers with wide-open eyes.
