JENTU is a creation for two dancers inspired by Miguel De Cervantes’ Don Quijote. In the careful interpretation of Cervantes’ story, the interest in the adventures of the Spanish hero and his companions(Sancho Panza and Dulcinea) has shifted to the meaning that these challenges may still have for us today: actions without a happy ending, useless, accomplished in the background of a small room, able to anticipate the ethic of a new hero model without special powers, no glory or fanfare to announce his fragile humanity. The brightest colours are diluted on the stage through choreographies, solos and duets, actions and silences permeated by a delicate mood. We perceive the figure of a hero that is the symbol of the failure, who rises to try again, all over again, bravely. A hero who tells us about the ability to accept to fall, to persist in pursuing his own ideal, in every new adventure rediscovering the wonder of the journey. So, the characters of JENTU are exiled from a time which they do not correspond to or from a place that was stolen from them; suspended, foreigners, they inhabit a Leopardi’s landscape whose threshold is represented by the yield, the only possible place of belonging and meaning.
