23 postcards documenting a performance in La Mancha, Spain
In January 2013, I spent three weeks criss-crossing the Manchegan Plains in Southern Spain; the country made famous by Miguel de Cervantes’ novel, “Don Quixote” (1605, 1611). I was interested in considering the idea that “Quixote” expresses a culture in crisis, reflecting a Europe in transition between its medieval past and its enlightened future. In “Untold Torments” I wanted to return to this ambivalent space. I wanted to document it, perform in it and ultimately consider the idea that La Mancha will forever be a place of transition, emptiness and madness.
