Teatro en El Verano | 2022

Oprime aquí para leer en español
Don Quixote loses himself inside his books, but desperately yearns for the adventure he reads in his stories of knighthood. To the dismay of his family, he sets off to make his imagination a reality with the help of his next-door neighbor, Sancho. Wrapped in tin foil with his loyal “squire” Sancho at his side, they go on a journey unlike any Don Quixote could have imagined. As the story unravels, families find themselves on the precipice of discovering something they thought they had lost long ago.
La Mancha is an adaptation by Marcel Mascaró of Miguel de Cervantes's well-known novel Don Quixote de La Mancha, and will be directed by Catia Ramos.
Please bring your own chair or blanket. A hat and bug spray are also recommended.

Teatro en El Verano | 2022

Don Quijote se pierde en sus libros, pero anhela desesperadamente la aventura que lee en sus relatos caballerescos. Para consternación de su familia, se propone hacer realidad su imaginación con la ayuda de su vecino, Sancho. Envueltos en papel de aluminio con su leal “escudero” Sancho a su lado, emprenden un viaje como ningún Don Quijote podría haber imaginado. A medida que se desarrolla la historia, las familias se encuentran al borde del precipicio de descubrir algo que pensaban que habían perdido hace mucho tiempo.
La Mancha es una adaptación de Marcel Mascaró de la conocida novela Don Quijote de La Mancha de Miguel de Cervantes, y será dirigida por Catia Ramos.
