The life of Miguel de Cervantes is even more interesting than his literary work. In his novels, we find the imperial Spain of the 17th century and the decadent Spain of charlatans and vagrants, masterfully described by a misunderstood young man whose dream was to be a knight and fight in defense of Christendom. In his life, we witness the hardships of a poor student, a soldier without fortune, the incomprehension of his wife Catalina, his dreary profession, his time in prison, and the mockery and plagiarism of his novels.

Cervantes lived in several worlds at once without ever meeting them, without being able to distinguish between his life and that of his characters. Or perhaps he did?

In our show, we present the entire ingenious life and work of Cervantes, condensed into just over sixty minutes. A whirlwind performance by two actors, who leap from his writings to his lives as cardsharps, revealing reflections of reality and fiction that are difficult to distinguish. A dizzying work brimming with irony and banter with the audience, entertaining and educational, a show for dreamers with their eyes wide open.

Genre: Theatre. Style: Comedy. Duration: 60 min.

Show included in the programming of the Scenic Circuits of Castilla y León.
