Don Quixote's Adventures

Synopsis

An old puppeteer and his two assistants relate and dramatize with puppets and other objects some adventures of Don Quixote. At a given moment of the representation, the old man Maese begins to rave, to be delirious, to confuse drama and reality, to take the dolls of cardboard and wood for persons. His assistants, astonished, try the old man to recover his senses. This causes different situations between the actors-puppeteers, that run parallel to the staging itself with marionettes, dealing with the wandering fates of Don Quixote of Mancha.
