Don Quixote at KUBAA: An Evening Between Madness, Dignity, and Poetry

With Don Quixote (Premiere), the Theater of the City of Aalen opens an evening that brings the great material of Miguel de Cervantes into the present: as a play with music and shadow, as an inner journey through memory, imagination, and the fragile everyday life of a care facility. The production connects Cervantes' world literature with biographical fragments of an elderly man named Michael, who becomes the Knight of La Mancha in his own imaginary world. The performance takes place on October 10, 2026, at 8:00 PM in the theater hall of the KulturBahnhof Aalen, as part of the KUBAA season opening.

A Classic that Glows and Hurts

The production does not rely on museum-like reverence but on theatrical transformation. Shadow play, puppets, and live music with electric guitar and loop station open those interstitial spaces where reality and fiction are no longer clearly separated. It is precisely there that the material gains its timeless power: in the backlight of reason, in the spark of a counterworld that provides comfort while simultaneously making transience visible. The Theater of the City of Aalen describes the character as someone who wants to save the world and is, in his inner logic, Don Quixote of La Mancha.

Dramaturgy with Inner Tension

Jan Jedenak directs, Tonio Kleinknecht is co-director and dramaturg, and Tina Brüggemann also takes over dramaturgy. This constellation promises not smooth narrative theater but a precisely constructed theatrical atmosphere where comedy and melancholy sharpen each other. Arwid Klaws, Bernd Tauber, Hugo Ziegler, and a child carry the performance while music and shadow figures shape the invisible within the protagonist. Thus, a stage experience is created that not only tells but makes perceivable how memory, role model, and longing intertwine.

The KUBAA as a Space for Intimacy

The KulturBahnhof Aalen provides a fitting framework for this evening: a light-filled, multifunctional venue with modern technology, barrier-free access, a passenger elevator, accessible restrooms, and a cloakroom in the building. The house is located at Georg-Elser-Platz 1 in 73431 Aalen and is well-connected; parking is available directly at the main entrance, in parking garage P6 at the main train station, and at the gas holder area. For the theater, this location creates a special closeness to the audience, and for the audience reaction, an immediate presence that makes every gesture and musical impulse tangible.

Why This Evening Sparks Curiosity

Don Quixote is not a monument here but a living theatrical body: poetic, cheerful, vulnerable, and full of resistance against the merely functional. Those who engage in this evening experience a piece about the power of imagination, about human dignity on the fringes of everyday life, and about the question of how much chivalry still finds its place in today’s life. This is theater that touches without lecturing, and in this, it unfolds its greatness. Secure your tickets and experience the premiere live at KUBAA.
