Still Waters in a Storm presents The Traveling Serialized Adventures of Don Quixote, a project for which a group of 15 children, ages 7 to 17, are reading and translating Don Quijote de la Mancha from the Spanish original into English and retelling the tale as their own, re-imagining the story of an old man in Spain in the late 1500s as a story of Spanish-speaking immigrant children living in Brooklyn today.
The group’s running translation combines Spanish and English and is being adapted and performed collectively by the kids as a series of brief, traveling "Adventure Plays" in non-theatrical settings, such as apartments, offices and classrooms, all around New York City featuring original songs written by the kids, who will join us for a performance at the Octavio Paz Gallery on February 20.
Where: Octavio Paz Gallery / Consulate General of Mexico 27 East 39th Street
When: February 20, 5 PM
