at the Mikro Horn Theater
“Don Quixote”! Miguel de Cervantes’ masterpiece will be presented starting November 7 at the Children’s Stage of the Mikros Horn Theater by the Magical Spinning Tops, directed by Dimitris Adamis.
This is the moment when the theater will defend the dream, because Don Quixote, our beloved dreamer and hero, is coming to show us a new path—one that is brighter and more hopeful!
On his horse, he gallops through his imagination, makes the impossible possible, fights the darkness, and puts love before evil!
The play, full of sensitivity and incredible humor, celebrates—through the character of the brilliant Sancho, Don Quixote’s faithful companion— friendship and companionship, devotion to others, and the strength we gain when we all hope together.
Through the eyes of the director and the entire cast and crew, the children experience the exploits of a hero who loves the adventure of life and dares to live it despite the obstacles. The Windmills are always here, and we are the Don Quixotes, armed with our dreams.
This spectacular performance gives young audience members the opportunity to “encounter” elements of Spanish culture.
The costumes for the performance are inspired by paintings by artists who were inspired by or lived in Spain, such as Domenikos Theotokopoulos (El Greco), Velázquez, Goya, and Salvador Dalí.
The sets also draw inspiration from paintings and create an evocative atmosphere. The exceptional music draws entirely from the rich tradition of Spanish composers. The songs are based on traditional Spanish songs that have been specially adapted for children.
