Theatre, dance, visual arts, music, film, and installation

Don Quijote’s Mausoleum is a rock concert, a museum exhibition, a dance- and theatre performance, performance art, a laid-back party, and a theatrical language course all in one. The rectangular red stage is surrounded by artworks. The alive mobile-installations within this theatrical exhibition hall are all various analogies of Don Quijote himself. Don Quijote, appearing in every single installation, can be a man as well as a woman. The „art-watchers” projected on the walls eagerly follow the events, like so many Dulcineas, and thus success is guaranteed. Sancho is the museum guard.
