Don Quixote showing dismayLA MUERTE DE DON QUIXOTE written and directed by Ochre House Theater Artistic Director Matthew Posey, and in collaboration with the 2019 Dallas Flamenco Festival is a flamenco theater fantasia inspired by Miguel de Cervante’s DON QUIXOTE. LA MUERTE DE DON QUIXOTE imagines the last day of Don Quixote and explores the human condition of love, loss, success and failure in the face of his greatest giant, Death.

La Muerte de Don Quixote posterThis collaboration features the magnificent flamenco artists Antonio Arrebola (Bailaor) as Don Quixote and Delilah Buitrón Arrebola (Bailaora) as Dulcinea, as well as the incomparable flamenco musicians Alex Conde (Composer and Pianist), José Cortés Fernandéz (Cantaor) and Alfonso Cid (Cantaor and Flutist) to create a magical night of theatre and a celebration of the world’s most iconic Knight Errant in literature. As Don Quixote says in LA MUERTE DE DON QUIXOTE, “The world is a cruel place, and who shall stand up for broken families, the weak, the defenseless, and the voiceless, if not myself.”

The chairs in the theater vibrate with the sound: you’d feel the movement, even if you didn’t hear the stamping pulse of the dancer.”
