In Zarechny, the premiere of the play “Don Quixote” took place

Zarechen Theatre of Young Spectators presented the premiere of Don Quixote (12+). The show, which took place on October 30, became possible thanks to the Pushkin Card program, operating within the framework of the national project “Family”.

Director from Moscow Daniel Romensky created not just a film adaptation of the famous novel by Cervantes, but a bold fantasy on its subject. The classic story survived the reboot: the events are transferred to modern reality. The main character sincerely believes that he is a knight, and throws himself into battle with the surrounding injustice. His constant companion Sancho Panza shares with him the hardships and joys of the journey. The familiar story turns into a witty tragicomedy, where high matters easily get along with jokes and unpredictable plot twists.

The production breaks stereotypes about the boring classic, turning it into a live dialogue with the audience. The focus is on the theme of courage to be yourself and the difficult choice between comfortable silence and active action.

The play involves Mikhail Tikhomirov (Don Quixote), Tatiana Ivanova (Sancho Pansa), Nikita Haikin (Father), Kristina Denisova (Child), Alexei Simakov (Fan Owner), Lyudmila Kucheryavenkova (Dulsinea), Mikhail Gavrilov (Voice) and other artists. The next show is scheduled for November 13.
