OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :

This puppet has great mobility, and here he is both transported on his donkey (a tricycle animal) and manipulated in front of the performer, who lends him his legs. The movement of the puppet on stage, particularly the expression of its mouth, becomes a dramatic resource that expands the range of emotions and reactions that Sancho Panza can display.

The creation of his face is based on the mold of the actress who manipulates him, Filipa Mesquita.

OBJECT_CONTEXT_EN :

Performed in 1733, “The Life of the Great Don Quixote de la Mancha and the Fat Sancho Panza” was António José da Silva's first play, “The Jew”.

An ironic interpretation of the play criticizes justice and the “walls” that Europe erects. This character is the governor of “Ilha dos Lagartos” and here the island is represented as an island of obsolete and declining technology. This island symbolizes a microcosm of Europe, with all its prejudices and errors, and Sancho Panza, as governor, is the personification of what is considered blind, corrupt, and unfair justice. Sancho Panza is linked to the realm of the precarious, the superficial, and the ephemeral.
