Dulcinea’s Lament is an awe-inspiring refreshing risky surprise!

Impeccably directed from start to finish by Alice Ronfard. A not to be missed production with Dulcinea Langfelder presented by Dulcinea Langfelder & Co. @ D.B. Clarke on a limited run until Nov. 19. You know you’ve sat down to something really special when you can feel the muscles
in your face straining from the permanent smile created by the shear
enjoyment of what you are watching.

Inspired by Don Quixte’s muse, she will take on Cervantes’ absent heroine. She will use her namesake to express her vision of the world, religion attitudes, language, love, and history. Even if you are unfamiliar with Don Quixote you will be truly inspired by the message of hope.

With something for everyone this principally one women show, supported by four multi-talented performers, has movement, spoken work, puppetry, live music...both vocal and instrumental, and dance, all surrounded by a spectacle of video projection of claymation, animation and special effects, that literally moves with the story re-defining a multi-media theatrical production experience.

This golden age artist is more feisty, and demonstrates more spirit, than someone one-half the age; she is so acutely in-touch with the medium and her audience. There are moments in this renaissance performance when there is more going on than the senses and mind can even absorb.

Dulcinea’s Lament is pure joy with a very well merited standing ‘O’ that follows the applause that starts up even before the performance has concluded. Dee Arr says to absolutely GO C IT!
