Kid Quixote at Bard
Monday, February 17, 2020
Resnick Studio Classroom
5:00 pm – 7:00 pm EST/GMT-5
“Right now and for the next five years, fifteen children ages four to seventeen at Still Waters in a Storm, a one-room schoolhouse in Brooklyn, are reading and translating Don Quixote from the Spanish original into English and retelling the tale as their own, reimagining the story of an old man in Spain in the late 1500s as a story of Spanish-speaking immigrant children living in Brooklyn today. The story has been adapted as and performed as musical theater, with dialogue and original songs written collectively by the kids. With the collaboration of world-renowned Edith Grossman, translator of the authoritative English version of Don Quixote.” 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm EST/GMT-5
Co-sponsored by LAIS, the Division of Languages and Literature, and Bard's Translation and Translatability Initiative.
