Quichotte

Whether he's stringing together Sophocles tragedies in the middle of the countryside in the pouring rain, or performing Shakespeare at high speed, Gwenaël Morin's shows give the impression of being invented on the spot. From Don Quixote - the hidalgo who wanted to live as in the novels of chivalry - the director has retained a fierce desire to experience theater in contact with life. He sets out to turn Cervantes' masterpiece upside down, surrounded by a whimsical cast and crew: Jeanne Balibar as the picaresque heroine, Marie-Noëlle as her mount, Thierry Dupont as Sancho Panza and himself as the burden-bearing donkey... Since 2023 and for four years, Démonter les remparts pour finir le pont has invited Gwenaël Morin to create a play for each edition, based on the repertoire and in relation to the guest language.
