The hero and his squire get a fresh take on adventure in 'Quixote Nuevo' at the Denver Center. See it now through June 12.
It’s tempting to say that Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra’s Don Quixote never gets old. But aging is very much the point in playwright Octavio Solís’ “Quixote Nuevo” on stage at the Denver Center, through June 12.“Quixote Nuevo.” Written by Octavio Solís. Directed by Lisa Portes. Featuring Herbert Siguenza, Ernie González Jr., Raúl Cardona, Laura Crotte, Sol Castillo, Maya Malan-Gonzalez, Krystal Ortiz and Alexis B. Santiago.
To undertake the improbable adventure, to dream of the impossible, Herber Siguenza becomes Don Quixote. ” Adams VisCom, provided by the Denver Center Papa Calaca tells the tormented scholar, “know that I’m the dimmer of your light, the rigor in your mortis, Papa Muerte with all his bony angels.” Papa’s chorus is just as vigorously poetic: “Remember in the end, you ain’t what you pretend or what you spend but what you did and didn’t do, said and never said, loved and loved so badly.” Solís’ language flows from disquisition to spoken-word boasts, from Spanish to English and back again.
A family-run dive/karaoke bar figures into the duo’s journey, as does an encounter with an exhausted group of migrants and a weird herd of goats. In pursuit: the priest and the doctor, Magdalena and Antonia , as well as Juana.
