Matt Masters, Terrance Houle and a six piece band present an intimate Western cabaret called "Don
Coyote" in St. James Church. Don Coyote is a 21st-century resident of Calgary whose infatuation
with all things Western leaves him delusional and believing he’s a cowboy troubadour, roaming the
land in pursuit of the honour-bound Cowboy Code. "Don Coyote" is not a re-telling of 17th-Century
Spanish classic, "Don Quixote", but it draws inspiration and parallels from it.
In the adjacent park and bandshell, performance duo 2boys.tv and guests offer a spectacular parallel
universe of "Don Quixote" called "Quixotic". It is a searching, hilarious drama full
of delusions of grandeur, a great celebration of extravagant disguises, hallucinations, mirages, a phantamogoric
ritual, stations of the ignis fatuus cross, windmills and flamenco...but deadly serious as it crosses
over into the world of Don Coyote!
"Don Coyote" is directed by Vanessa Porteous and stage managed by Immanuelle van der Lawrence. "Quixotic" is
directed and stage managed by Erik Moscopedis.
