Quijóteres Puppet Show

Bilingual and accessible to Spanish and English speaking patrons

¡Quijóteres! is a bilingual puppet theatre adaptation of Cervantes’ classic novel that aims to introduce young audiences, regardless of their familiarity with Spanish or the Golden Age, to the comic adventures and themes of Don Quijote. Featuring “muppet-style” puppets on a unique, multi-functional traveling puppet stage, the show takes advantage of its imaginative puppet setting to emphasize the novel’s intensely comical depictions of the ridiculous, with all of the clashes and crashes, valor and vomit, that have distinguished Don Quijote as the quintessential funny book for more than four centuries. The show was produced in 2013, with writing, direction, design, and construction by Jason Yancey, and featured performances by student puppeteers—Caleb Duckworth, Katie Munoz, Russell Cerda, and Lindsay Viviano—with additional support from Grand Valley State University and the Dragoncillo Puppet Troupe.
