This is How Don Quixote Decided to Save the World

Following on from the solitary figure of a Lilith (There Lilith Relaxes… – a 2018 production) and the utopia of a female community (AMAZONES, a 2021 production), This is How Don Quixote Decided to Save the World is based on experimental creative processes, continually going to and fro between periods of group work and individual research, striving for a potential conciliation between strong singularities and close sisterhood.

In this production, the choreographic writing is treated as a ritual of individual and group healing; a reprogramming process, inviting the audience to join the movement.

Act 1

Act 1 is for the public arena and non-dedicated venues and fulfils performative choreography. It intends to be reactivated in a tailored way at each performance in synergy with the programming organisation. Its basic outline is built from routines, scores, modules and expressive methods, making it possible for it to be considered in various formats and durations, ranging from a “classic show” format to a performance duration of several hours, reflecting an artivist sit-in.

Act 2

Drawing on the huge repertoire of materials brought into play, Act 2 sets forth stage and frontal choreography comprised of motifs which become entangled, spread out, alternate with each other, become lost and find each other; gestures which feed off and reflect one another, with the aim of symbolically relating a political advice session.
