Beware, good people!
A deposed king with a few traits in common with the famous Don Quixote has landed in your town.
He's accompanied by his last faithful, a Fool with more than one trick up his sleeve!
Come and discover this burlesque, interactive farce, conceived in a medieval and clownish universe, and become the complicit witnesses of their comical and absurd adventures.

A fallen king wanders the vast world, poor and delirious. He's blind and uses a wheelchair, pushed by his madman. The latter, who is much more lucid, deceives him and depicts a marvelous universe that contrasts with their vagabond reality. Despite this, the King, overcome with sadness, decides to leave this world. He asks his fool to take him to the edge of a cliff. Once again, the fool deceives him. And when the King thinks he's going to take a dizzying fall, he only falls from his own height!

This fantastic quest, somewhere between the real and the imaginary, humorously takes us back to the world of medieval farces.

A comedy whose common thread is gentle madness.

Evenings are cool, so wear appropriate clothing.
