Scenic Design by Leigh Henderson

Teatro Visión (San José, CA), April 2023

adapted by Anne Ludlum and David Quicksall

based on Don Quijote de la Mancha, Parts I and II, by Miguel de Cervantes

Directed by Rodrigo García

Brought to life by a talented ensemble of youth actors from across San José, Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza traverse the plains of La Mancha in search of daring adventures.

The scenery envisions the story of Don Quixote is brought to life by imaginative children using props found around a theater. Hanging chairs, picture frames, ragged curtains, and piles of crates, barrels, globe, rocking horse, and candelabras create a world that, like the story of Don Quixote, hovers between deterioration and magical possibility. The windmill is made from brooms mounted on a rolling ladder. Scooters serves as horses, a tricycle as a donkey, a red wagon as a sedan chair.
