‘El caballero don Quijote’ by Gutiérrez Aragón (2001)
The same day, at 4 p.m., will be shown the feature film Las gallinas de Cervantes (Alfredo Castellón, 1988). Based on the story of the same name by Ramón J. Sender, about the Cervantes’s wife, Dona Catalina and the metamorphosis she undergoes in the face of her husband’s disorientation. His wife’s peculiar family fascinates and horrifies the writer, who can only talk about the situation with his friend, Doménicos Theotocópulos, El Greco, for whom he poses as a model for The Burial of Count Orgaz.
