Don Quixote ((Teaterforestilling på Teater Katapult)

What do you do when the world no longer makes sense?

You become a knight. Of course.

Join a wild road trip across Spain with what might just be the world’s funniest clown duo: Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.

Armed with nothing but humour, they set out to battle the injustices of the world. Because why bow to authority when you can rebel with laughter?

On stage, the classic story transforms into a playful, musical and physical performance where the absurd meets the sharp. Beneath the laughter lies a persistent reminder: we don’t have to accept the world as it is.

Talk før forestilling:

Når narren er den eneste, der tør sige sandheden. Hvem er egentlig den gale? Mennesket, der insisterer på at forandre verden eller samfundet, der har opgivet at drømme? Med afsæt i Cervantes' udødelige fortælling undersøger vi komediens og klovnens særlige kraft.
Komediens historie - latteren som samfundets sikkerhedsventil. Fra antikkens komedier og hofnarren til commedia dell'arte og den moderne klovn. Vi undersøger, hvorfor samfundet har brug for dem, der vender verden på hovedet, og hvordan humor, satire og absurditet kan udfordre magten og fortælle sandheder, som alvoren ikke kan rumme.

The performance is created and performed by Finnish duo Mike & Zin (Timo Ruuskanen and Tuukka Vasama), known for their impeccable timing, musicality and offbeat humour. With over 900 performances behind them and major success at the Edinburgh Fringe, they are among the strongest clown duos in the Nordics.
