Gregor Zöllig, director of the Braunschweig Dance Theater, is reinterpreting the most famous book in Spanish literature, "Don Quixote," in a world premiere with his dance ensemble and the Braunschweig State Orchestra under the direction of Alexis Agrafiotis. The production and choreography are designed as a psychological balancing act between self-discovery and self-deception. The sound backdrop of dreamlike images is provided by compositions by Louis Andriessen, Michael Gordon, Henryk Górecki, Jon Hopkins, Charles Ives, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Rolf Liebermann, Léon Minkus and Steve Reich. The premiere of the world premiere is on November 2nd in the main hall of the Braunschweig State Theater.
