Why study Don Quijote de la Mancha?
“Don Quijote is a kind of portal that potentially connects the problems of modernity to the wisdom of the past. It just might be the best way to contemplate the classical ideas of geniuses like Plato, Aristotle, and Apuleius, especially regarding such philosophical issues as the nature of personal identity, the origins of political theory, and the importance of social values like justice, freedom, and truth.”

¡Quijóteres!
The Ingenious Puppet Don Quijote de La Mancha
Thursday – October 8th, 2020 – 6:30 pm
Artist Studio Project in collaboration with Dragoncillo Puppet Troupe and the Orange County Public Library, invite you to a special virtual performance of Dragoncillo Puppet Troupe’s “¡Quijóteres!”
Jason Yancey explains: The play that follows represents a loose adaptation of Cervantes’s classic tale. It is not The Quijote or anything approaching such. I would not even go as far to say it is my vision of the Quijote. At best, this adaptation represents just one of the many tangled, intertwined stories from the novel that appeal to me as a reader, playwright and scholar, one I wished to share with my audience.
A Play for two audiences: This play was created for children in an elementary school setting, kids who probably do not understand Spanish and possessed little to no familiarity with the Quijote. For this group I hope to offer an engaging, comical, action-driven introduction to Spanish and to Cervantes’s misguided knight, one that would encourage them to want to learn more.
The second audience intended for are students, parents and educators who speak some Spanish and have a firm enough understanding of the Quijote so as to recognize subtle references to events and characters detailed in the story. For this group I hope to incorporate the beauty and flavor of the original language, certain nuances of the characters and their relationships, and utilize some of the narrative innovations frequently cited as evidence of the first modern novel.
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra :(1547-1616) was a novelist, playwright and poet hailing from Spain’s fabled “Golden Age” of art and literature. He is best known as the author of El Ingenioso hidalgo, don Quijote de La Mancha, a self-described satire of chivalric romances and a cautionary tale for their readers. Originally published in two parts (1605 and 1615), the story follows the diluted knight-errant Don Quijote and his faithful squire Sancho Panza on noble quests that repeatedly end in comic misadventures. The novel enjoyed tremendous popularity in Spain and abroad, bringing fame, if not fortune, to its creator. During the 400 years that have followed, scholars and writers frequently regard Don Quijote as not only the first modern novel but also the greatest work of fiction ever written.
Jason Yancey: is an Assistant Professor of Spanish at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, MI. A puppeteer, director and Spanish theater scholar, he received a PhD in Hispanic Literature from the University of Arizona in 2009 and has directed plays in Spanish by Lope de Vega, Tirso de Molina, Calderón de la Barca and María de Zayas. His 2005 production of El caballero de Olmedo, produced by Brigham Young University, opened the 2005 Chamizal Siglo de Oro Drama Festival, in El Paso, TX, and his world-first translation/adaptation of Tirso’s Antona García debuted there in 2012. He serves as a board member of the Association for Hispanic Classical Theater (AHCT), and curates the organization’s extensive film archive of Golden Age stage performances. Since arriving at GVSU Professor Yancey has created a one-of-a-kind Spanish puppetry course that teaches students to write, produce and perform original puppet theater for local Spanish immersion elementary schools.
Dragoncillo: is a puppetry troupe comprised of university scholars specializing in golden age theatre: Jason Yancey (GRAND VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY); Esther Fernández (RICE UNIVERSITY); Jonathan Wade (MEREDITH COLLEGE); and Jared White (BUENA VISTA UNIVERSITY). The group debuted in April 2018 with a shadow puppet adaptation of the Juan Rana figure from Golden Age Entremeses into an original production titled, “The Fabulous Johnny Frog,” offering performances in El Paso, Texas, and Grand Rapids, Michigan. The company is dedicated to imaginative storytelling that educates while it entertains.

From The Window: Larry Bellorin – Carolina Theatre of Durham
CAROLINA THEATRE OF DURHAM PRESENTS
From The Window: Larry Bellorín
In collaboration with NC Latin American Film Festival and Artist Studio Project
Saturday, October 17 at 5:00pm
Enjoy live music when Larry Bellorin (harp/guitar/vox) and Agustin Gonzalez perform live From The Window of the Carolina Theatre of Durham’s Connie Moses Ballroom on Saturday, October 17 during the venue’s takeout concessions hours and prior to the evening screening of “Labyrinth.” The artist will perform above and away from the concessions pick-up area and any guests.
No tickets will be sold or admission charged to this performance. The artist will perform while guests arrive at the venue to pick up concessions orders, and for anyone else walking through downtown Durham during Downtown Durham Inc’s The Streetery hours (5-9:30 p.m.). This live performance starts at 5 p.m.
About The Artist
Larry Bellorín was born in Punta de Mata in the state of Monagas, Venezuela, on October 10, 1983. He is a singer and professional musician. He is the former President of the Musical Foundation “Casa Vieja.” His greatest wish is that the music of his country be respected, loved and known.
In his foundation, Larry taught string instruments and singing techniques to children, youth and adults in his community and surroundings. His latest project, “Color de Mí Folklore” (The Color of My Folklore) is a collaboration with Artist Studio Project to bring to the forefront the many colors and structures that are found in Poetic Folkloric Music.
Romantic Music, for example, was not necessarily about romance. Rather it was a musical concept referring to a period of theory, compositional practice and canon from about 1800 – 1910. Romanticism refers to the development of musical structures within the composition, making pieces more passionate and expressive.
As an example The “Madrigal” Sung here by Danny Rivera is a lyrical composition where heptasyllables (a poetic line of seven syllables) and hendecasyllables (a line of verse containing eleven syllables) are combined with consonant rhyme, usually with a love theme. It had its origin in Italy and was especially cultivated in the Renaissance.
Natural son of Josefina Bellorín, a woman who loved him deeply, who saw him grow musically even as a child. The most bleak and sad moment of his life was that day when he was notified of the death of his mother, a woman he loved and who he was very attached to as she was both father and mother at the same time. In his record production “Palabras Vivas” (Live Words) he dedicates one of his songs: “Doña Que Yo Más Quiero”, a theme that he interprets with feeling and love in each of his presentations.
For Larry, music became an escape; it is his greatest passion, his occupation and profession.
Harpist, bassist, mandolinist, percussionist and cuatrista … Larry can interpret a variety of string instruments.
His first production “Palabras Vivas” (Live Words) is the fruit of years of work, days of frustration and also of joy, moments and letters full of love. As he expresses: “I only wish that through my music people can feel love, value their roots, and enlarge our country.”
Larry is currently finishing his latest record production, which includes the hit “LLANERO EN LA CIUDAD” (A llanero in the city) lyrics and music by Manuel Adán Contero, and which captivated the hearts of many Venezuelans in the voice of Larry Bellorín.
It also includes this wonderful Poetic Masterpiece “Pacto de Amor” (Pact of Love) by Luis Rafael González Ramirez that he interprets with much love and skill. Larry currently lives in the United States and he is passionate to share the many colors of his beautiful Folkloric Music.

ALL SAINTS’ DAY [The Day of the Dead] (known as Día de los Muertos in Spanish) is a holiday celebrated throughout Latin America where people honor their dead ancestors and celebrate the cycle of life. While the meaning of the holiday is the same across countries, it is celebrated differently in different countries.
The tradition of flying kites (called barriletes) on November 1 is a unique aspect of the Guatemalan celebration. This custom reaches its height in the town of Santiago, Sacatepequez, where residents spend months constructing enormous kites, up to several stories high, to fly from the cemetery hillside.
Kites serve as a symbolic connection to the dead and help guide the returning spirits to their families. Once the celebrations have ended, the kites are burned so that the dead may return peacefully until the next year. As in Mexico, Catholics in Guatemala prepare special foods and offerings to honor their loved ones on El Día de los Todos Santos (All Saints’ Day), and then proceed to the cemetery to share the day with the deceased. The native Maya adorn gravesites with pine needles, yellow marigolds (called flor de muerto), candles, liquor, and incense (called copal pom). By early afternoon, the cemetery overflows with families celebrating their loved ones with marimba music, dancing, food, and drink. In the town of San Jose Petén in northern Guatemala, an important tradition is the procession of three sacred skulls (called las santas calaveras). Said to be skulls of native Mayan kings or priests, they are sought out by individuals who ask them for health, a blessing in marriage, or productive crops. Anyone who makes a request accepts the responsibility to receive the skulls at his or her house for the following three years.
Here is the Esperanza Kite Time Laps video.
The 8’ in diameter Esperanza Kite is a messenger of hope: Humanity will survive and our generation will be part of the improvement of this world. This traditional giant Guatemalan kite, which honors All Saints Day on November 1, was created for Family Day of Guatemala by Guatemalan Artist Cristina España and her husband Nathanael Sperger, in partnership with the Consulate of Guatemala and community partners.

LUISITO CELEBRATES THREE KINGS’ DAY, LUISITO CELEBRA EL DIA DE LOS REYES
Luisto loves going to Abuelita’s house because on cold days she prepares “leche con chocolate caliente”! He loves hot cocoa!
Especially the way his Abuelita makes it! She takes a block of hard bittersweet chocolate, she says it is “Comida de Los Dioses”, Food of the Gods.
Abuelita tells him that chocolate has wonderful powers, they break it up into little pieces, melt it, then add sugar and hot milk, sometimes cinnamon.
However, this day was even more special for this day they would prepare for the arrival of Los Tres Reyes Magos, the Three Wise Men.
¡A Luisito le encanta ir a la casa de su abuelita, porque en los días fríos ella le prepara leche con chocolate caliente! ¡A Luisito le encanta el chocolate caliente! ¡Especialmente de la forma en que su abuelita lo hace! Toma un bloque duro, de sabor agridulce, Teobroma, que significa “comida de Los Dioses “. Abuelita le dice que el chocolate tiene poderes maravillosos. Lo rompe en pedacitos que muele, derrite, y luego les agrega leche caliente, azúcar y, a veces, canela. Sin embargo, este día es aún más especial porque se preparan para la llegada de Los Tres Reyes Magos.
