The Modern Don Quijote
It’s a sunny morning and Don Quijote is opening his local shop. Like every morning, he’s drinking his coffee and waiting for customers to slowly pour in. Meanwhile, he checks his webshop.” Hurray! 3 Orders overnight.” Happy and full of confidence, Don Quijote opens up his accounting and starts copying the order data. (Read More)

“Don Quijote regains his sanity and continues running his shop as Alonso Quixano the Good.”

Unlike most other Quixotic illustrations, that often impart a sense of comic lightness and whimsy romantic playfulness, this particular depiction appears dreamlike, and, almost unearthly.
Shaded in an explicit predominant palette of intermediate color between black and white; the somber gray-tone evokes a host of mixed feeling and symbolic concepts that are both positive and negative, which appropriately enhances the existing mythology and figural imagery expressed.
What I find most appealing, inspiring, is the faint hint of light that gracefully accentuates a slight tinge of bluish cloud-covering at the rim of a dark oncoming storm.
The contrasting lighter sky appears heavenly, almost divine opposite the opposing tumultuous, telling backdrop for this deeply reflective and imaginative image of Don Quixote.

New Don Quixote tells a border tale for a modern era
"The quest is the oldest and most retold form of story in human history. From ancient Greece’s 'The Odyssey' to Ming-era China’s 'Journey to the West,' the far-flung adventure tale is perhaps the most essential prototype of narrative we have."
"Cervantes’ 'Don Quixote' remains a foundational text in Western literature, whose themes on politics, chivalry and romance can speak to any era. So it makes sense that playwright Octavio Solis had no trouble retelling the story of a quixotic elderly man with a heart for adventure."
"In 'Quixote Nuevo,' at the Alley Theatre through Feb. 9, Solis has placed Quixote’s story in the modern era, in the fictional border town of La Plancha, on the Texas-Mexico border, starring a man who decides to see the world rather than be placed in an assisted living home." READ MORE
