D is for Don Quixote.
Zeevik Gottlieb made the unusual sculpture and it was part of the Humor and Satire exhibition along Jerusalem's Mamilla Avenue last year.
Looks like the knight errant carries his own windmill that he plucked from a modern wind farm, no?
LOGON, the Light Opera Group of the Negev, will be staging the musical "Don Quixote, Man of La Mancha."
In English!
It will open in Beer Sheva on February 27 and will tour major cities in Israel.

Even from the thumbnail I guessed this was Don Quixote. Something about the posture the artist chose telegraphs the message. How do artists do that? Cool post, Dina.
ReplyDeleteRecognized him right away. I think it was last round I did Q for quixotic!
