A funeral for Don Quixote - theatre performance

The performance "A funeral for Don Quixote", was developed during an overseas placement as part of the MA Scenography of Central Saint Martins, London.

Using Tadeusz Kantor’s methodology, creating the dramaturgy through the use of objects and space. The storyline is inspired by Witold Gombrowicz’s novels Cosmos and A Premeditated Crime.

The extraordinary Mira Rychlicka performs as Magistrate H, delivering an intense interpretation of the character. Magistrate H arrives at night in a home where a family, the mother, her son and their two servants are mourning the father’s death. Unhappy with the idea of a natural death, he searches for clues of a murder. The piece unfolds between “reality” and his neurotic “interpretation of reality”.

After the first performance in Krakow, the cast was invited to perform during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2007. Later that year it was soon again in Peckham, London.
