Don Qui­jo­te

In the organizer's words:

Don Alonso Quijano decides to change his life. From now on, he wants to live as a virtuous and noble man, inspired by the ideals he has found in his many books. As the knight Don Quixote de la Mancha, he wants to fight against injustice! Fame, success and true love should accompany him on his way. At his side will be Sancho Panza, a man with a completely different educational horizon. He willingly throws himself into Quijote's adventure, equipped with wooden swords that become sharp blades in their stories. But who are the two heroes really fighting? And what does it mean to be a knight? Miguel de Cervantes' famous characters Don Quixote and Sancho Panza don't let reality stand in their way.

In his directorial debut, ensemble member Janning Kahnert, together with Kammerschauspieler Thomas Nunner and Maximilian Pulst, who returns to the Nuremberg ensemble with this production, creates a lively and imaginative world. The production examines modern forms of escape from reality, the perception of reality and the influence of storytelling on our lives.
