Don Quijote
An exploration of Miguel de Cervantes’ novel, combining incredible visual imagery, anarchic performance & original music. This production caresses & assaults the senses in their interpretation of this 400 year old text.
The title role was played by a secret guest performer, unique to each date.
Devised by Emma in collaboration with Keir Cooper, Carlos Otero and Anton Coimbra and performed across the UK and in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at Tempo Festival.
Don Quijote was selected for the British Council Showcase for Drama & Dance 2013.

THE GUARDIAN
.
‘a whirlwind of joyous disintegration that sees the novel emerge resplendent from its own destruction.’
TIME OUT (CRITICS' CHOICE)
.
‘In an epiphanic volta of anarchic punk rock and uncoiled rage, it becomes a savage denunciation of cynicism and a lionised defence of idealism.’
THE SKINNY
.
‘I can’t remember the last time i felt this grateful to a piece of theatre...A blast of dark light and hopeful hopelessness... More than ‘performance lecture’ this is really ‘performance literary criticism ’
