Don Quixote

See the kingdom of La Mancha by Bicycle, and live to tell the tale!

Burn The Curtain, an innovative Devon based outdoor theatre company, create fun and engaging outdoor promenade shows for families and adults of all ages. This summer they are performing ‘The Adventures of Don Quixote by Bicycle’ !

Don Quixote has spent his whole life reading about the heroic exploits of famous Knights in books. Now, with a little help from his reluctant squire Sancho Panza, and you the audience, he's going to bring those stories to life, whatever the consequences!

Travelling together on bicycles, actors and audiences will experience the colourful and misguided escapades of Don Quixote - self styled Knight of La Mancha. This exciting piece of interactive family theatre involves actors riding custom designed bikes; tall, wide, beautiful and strange, these are
steeds that even a medieval knight might be proud to ride. As part of the show you too can decorate your cycle, or turn your bike into a horse.

Commissioned by Beaford Arts and funded by Arts Council England, Devon County Council and
Exeter City Council, this exciting new show is being premièred as part of Exeter’s Ignite Festival. A series of performances will take place at Exeter’s Historic Quayside with audiences and performers
taking a short promenade ride along the Exeter Canal Cycle Route.
