Synopsis
“Don Quixote leaves the book to encounter tribes of diverse Brazilian rhythms, such as viola music, capoeira, maculelê, and maracatu. It's a mix of rhythms with dance, in a contemporary and current language,“ she explained. According to Dany, the goal of the show is to make people want to learn more about Don Quixote, a character who remains relevant even though he is from the 17th century. ”He will travel through Brazilian rhythms, always in search of the great love of his life, Dulcinea.“ It's an educational program that, through a fusion of literature and dance, seeks to fulfill a commitment to the education of young people through art.
