Dawn, Quixote

Dawn, Quixote

The Building Stage
412 N. Carpenter Street Chicago

The Building Stage is known for adapting and reinventing classic tales, like their 2011 award-winning Moby-Dick. Sticking with tradition, the company updates Miguel de Cervantes' Spanish Golden Age masterpiece with a fresh coat of comedy. A cast of six men and women wearing fake beards, riding imaginary horses and playing ukuleles delivers a deliciously absurd adventure tale. More than their backsides are bruised as Don Quixote and his squire Sancho set out into the unknown in search of the self-proclaimed knight's impossible dream. Amusing cowboy songs and plenty of psychotherapy tag along for the ride. Dawn, Quixote is a personal and poetic exploration of the cost of dreaming.
