The performance features nearly 50 professionally designed, 3D-printed, and articulated shadow puppets—including monsters and windmills, sheep and soldiers, props and peasants—as well as multiple iterations of the play’s primary characters:
DON QUIJOTE, depicted in varying states of victory and defeat along his heroic journey;
SANCHO PANZA, Don Quijote’s squire and travelling companion;
CERVANTES, the novel’s author and sometimes antagonist;
SANSÓN CARRASCO, an intertextual fan of the novel, later disguised as a puppeteer.
