Quichotte: Guter Dinge

Don't worry - this is not some hollow feel-good nonsense. The optimism underpinning this show was hard-won, wrested from the jaws of an uncooperative reality. And the resulting performance, for all its variety, manages to be both feather-light and genuinely substantial.

It moves between stand-up comedy, music, freestyle rap and a certain favourite baker who once again hits satirical peak form.

Because the whole spectacle is a unique experience every single time - not just for the audience but for the performer himself - Quichotte puts it this way: "The day can go however it wants. In the evening I step on stage, and then I am, without fail... in good spirits! Besides, I can't afford pessimism."
