Loco7 reimagines this classic text with puppets, dance, and music to show the audience that no dream is too impossible to obtain and, with hope and heart, you can conquer fear.

Don Quixote and his friend Sancho Panza travel the five boroughs of New York City on a quest to save the world from evil forces and protect Lady Liberty. The audience follows Don Quixote as he explores New York City in his quest for love, honor, liberty, and justice for all.

Original production generously supported in part with public funds from Creative Engagement, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and administered by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council; LMCC.net, The Puffin Foundation, The Jim Henson Foundation, The Yip Harburg Foundation, and Individual Donors.
