Een psychedelische verteltrip

In this world, everyone goes crazy. Yes, even you. No one knows what is real and what is fiction anymore. Surviving is more a happy coincidence than the result of deliberate action. So, we are all the foolish hero with good intentions, Don Quixote. Or not? How much madness can you hear in one performance? How many unlikely events can you straighten out in your own mind?

In Not Quichot, six storytellers remember their good friend Q, but who was Q’s best friend? Through bold tales, they take you on their adventures with Q across all of Europe, through mountains, forests, past farmers’ protests and burning libraries. No other duo than writer Joachim Robbrecht and director Sarah Moeremans could so elegantly deconstruct a classic like Don Quixote, pulling out its strongest elements from the wreckage.
