DON DON DONKI DONKI~DON DON DONKI DONKI~
Do you know Don Quijote? He is a fearless hero, unwavering in his beliefs, who charges ahead with relentless determination. In a world long past the age of knights, he mounts his frail horse, raises his lance, and charges at windmills and sheep he imagines as towering giants and armies. Creators HSIUNG Shih-hsiang and HUNG Yi-po have reimagined this classic tale, blending Unity game engine, interactive design, and AI-generated technology to create an immersive experience. Through live actors and digital imagery, the audience’s perspective shifts between reality and imagination, exploring a tech-driven fantasy world. Written 400 years ago, Don Quijote is one of the first metafictional works in Western literature. Its hero, consumed by chivalric ideals, becomes both a tragic figure and a symbol of resistance against fate. Today, modern media offer new pathways for imagination, and we all carry a trace of Don Quijote’s spirit. Ready to join on the adventure?
