Main Actress: Dulcinea Langfelder
Inspired by Don Quixote’s famous muse, Dulcinea del Toboso, Dulcinea Langfelder sallies forth to take on Miguel Cervantes’ “absent heroine”, giving voice to her namesake to express her vision of the world and its history. You don’t need to have read the book to know intuitively who Dulcinea is. The question is, does she exist? Does she live somewhere in all of us? Here, the roles are reversed; Don Quixote becomes Dulcinea’s muse, watching from the wings as our heroine attempts to rescue herself – from a history that has given her a questionable rap… and a lot to mull over.
In her tried and true multidisciplinary style, Dulcinea and her chorus of “Honourable Colleagues” (technical team) follow the silk road on a pilgrimage, looking through the mirror to where the present warps with the past, as dance with theatre, words with imagery… Quixote with Dulcinea.
“… and the divine Dulcinea Langfelder, with Dulcinea’s Lament, succeeded in the tour-de-force of creating a new work which is as touching and original as Victoria, the piece that has brought her around the world.”
