Don Quixote by Cervantes is one of the funniest and most touching stories ever written. Told in the language of film with marionettes by Steven Ritz-Barr with Michael York as the voice of Don Quixote, For families, lovers of literature, art and music.
QUIXOTE is the story of an aging Spanish gentleman who reads so many books about chivalry that he imagines himself to be a knight. Accompanied by this faithful squire Sancho Panza, he embarks on a series of absurdly fantastic adventures across 16th century Spain.
Produced by Classics in Miniature, Inc. Marionettes, exquisitely hand crafted by Russian Puppet artist Eugene Seregin, brought to life by master puppeteer Steven Ritz-Barr and co-director/cinematographer Hoku Uchiyama. Music by Frenchman, Jeremy Yeremian, harkens back to the middle ages when the Spanish countryside resonated with the sounds of the Moors, the Christians, and the Jews.
