Description

Between theatre, song and puppetry, an inventive fable in homage to Cervantes where a whimsical Grandpa shakes up certainties.<div> Sacha's beloved grandfather has an increasingly troublesome problem that is turning the family's life upside down: he believes he is Don Quixote. Like the Iberian hero, he constantly sees darlings to rescue or knights to fight. Distraught, but unwilling to give in to the pressure to place him in a nursing home, the little girl's parents opt for a new strategy: venturing into the old man's eccentricities armed with improvised chainmail and cardboard swords.</div><div><br></div><div> Surprisingly, everyone starts getting caught up in the game, and reality blurs into fantasy. But at nine years old, Sacha wants to understand the real world, without artifice or lies, and leave fairy tales to children's books...</div><div><br></div><div> Papy Quichotte offers an intensely human theatrical experience that invites us to rethink the power of stories to transcend generations and to humorously explore the strength of family ties.</div>
