A story about reckless striving for good and clashes with harsh reality in the production by Anton Fyodorov. The work of Cervantes, written 400 years ago, is considered the first modern novel. It tells the story of an elderly nobleman who has read too many books and imagines himself a knight. In his attempt to enter the imagined reality of a cheap chivalric novel, the hero stops at nothing and reveals himself as a true tyrant. In his ideal world, everything is beautiful: victory is won in fair combat, defeat is acknowledged, and love is real. In his desire to fit his life and everything around him into these frames, the hero faces powerful resistance. Is it possible to forcibly create harmony in a contradictory world, even if one believes in it fervently? What is the norm? Is the movement towards good really so harmless? Where do true love and compassion begin? And how relevant is all this today? For more performances in Moscow, visit our website in the theater section.
