TODOS CAERÁN
Le Colonel Astral
THEATER
A show very freely inspired by Don Quixote by Cervantes
At the beginning, there is only a theater room, three presences, a text: it could be a rehearsal. Suddenly, a fourth character arrives, claiming to be a knight errant, Don Alfonso Quichano.
TODOS CAERÁN is an obstinate quest for identity, an absurd road trip that crosses different eras, situations and literary styles, and whose only reference point is the theater.

This show was created in February 2022 at Théâtre la Balsamine.
At the beginning there is only a theater room, three people, a text, Chekhov perhaps : nothing extraordinary, it could be a rehearsal.
Suddenly, a fourth character arrives. He claims to be a knight errant and calls himself Don Alfonso Quichano. His horse is a wheelbarrow and his ladylove is called Andy. This is the beginning of a series of adventures in which these four beings are both the authors and the subjects.
TODOS CAERÁN is about an ostinate quest for identity that is not deterred by failed attempts and bitter disappointments. It is an absurd road trip that crosses different eras, situations and literary styles. The only reference point is the theater: that's where the protagonists keep coming back to, as if it were only in the place of performance and sharing that there was any hope of meeting oneself.
