The Impossible Dream ...

My a.m. post this morning was a reblog of a post by Dr. John Persico.  I don’t know if you read the comments on his post or not, but in the back-and-forth comments between he and I, he reminded me of this song and said he hoped the lyrics would help to inspire me to keep on keeping on.  He was right … and they do.  I hope they do the same for you this morning, after another mass shooting here in…

Snail of La Snancha (I, Don Snixote)

Based on ideas brainstormed with a good friend. :}

[CERVANTES] I shall impersonate a snail! Come, enter into my imagination and see him. Shriveled, hollow-faced—eye-stalks that burn with the fire of inner vision. He conceives the strangest project ever imagined—to become a snail knight, a snight-errant, and sally forth into the world righting all wrongs. His name: Don Snixote de La Snancha!

[DON SNIXOTE] Hear me now, oh thou bleak and unbearable world: Thou art base and debauched as can be, And a snight with his banners all bravely unfurled Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!

I am I, Don Snixote, the Lord of La Snancha, My destiny calls and I go: And the wild winds of fortune will carry me onward, Oh, whithersoever they blow. Whithersoever they blow, Onward to glory I go!

[SANCHOLY PANZOLY] I'm Sancho! Yes, I'm Sancho! I follow my master 'til the end I'll tell all the world proudly I'm his squire! I'm his friend!

[DON SNIXOTE] Hear me, heathens and snizards and serpents of sin: All your dastardly doings are past, For a holy snendeavor is now to begin, And snirtue shall triumph at last!

[DON SNIXOTE / SANCHOLY] I am I, Don Snixote, the Lord of La Snancha, / I'm Sancho! Yes, I'm Sancho! My destiny calls and I go / I follow my master 'til the end And the wild winds of fortune will carry me onward / I'll tell all the world proudly Oh whithersoever they blow! / I'm his squire! I'm his friend!

[DON SNIXOTE & SANCHOLY] Whithersoever they blow, Onward to glory I go!

Favorite Musicals #5: Man of La Mancha

Man of La Mancha- Gee…another musical based on a classic book. I’m not saying I have a type, but I have a type. My high school did this beautiful show by Mitch Leigh, Joe Darion and Dale Wasserman the year or two after I graduated. This was the period of time that I continued to go back and see shows to support friends. (I only went to college about an hour away from my hometown so it was easy to do.) Photo below: Unknown production.

Giving a standing ovation in theater in such a common practice, it barely has meaning anymore. Truth. Man of La Mancha was the first time I felt a show had earned a standing ovation and I was one of the first on my feet.

It’s really hard to compute how much that production has impacted what I do as an artist when I direct. When I entered the theater, stuff was happening onstage before the show actually started.  It made perfect sense, the cast of characters are prisoners in a inquisition period prison. They were just laying about, sitting, walking…not much else. Just stuck in that place. It built atmosphere. It just put the groundwork down for what we were about to experience. As I direct, plays or musicals, I look for ways to do that. I forgo the use of a main act curtain and I throw the audience into the experience the moment they walk into the theater. I learned that with Man of La Mancha. Photo Below: Unknown Production.

The second reason the show really resonates with me (still does,) is that it’s a show in a box. Literally. He has to tell his story to save his stuff and the only thing he has to tell that story is what’s in his crate…and what’s in the room. I’ve seen 3 different productions at this point and I am constantly amazed with how directors approach this and the creativity they employ.

That’s all about the theatricality…the story itself is also about creativity. It’s  a story about being different and the people around a supremely creative individual trying to deal with that person and how they act. It challenges our worldview. It’s just an amazing story with beautiful music or fun music. It has such well defined characters. Photo Below: Unknown Production.

Apart from the high school production, I was able to see a regional production (in the last year,) and also a dinner theater production in the early 2000s. One of the ensemble players from that show lives a little rent free in my head because of one really great acting choice.

I did miss the Broadway revival with Brian Stokes Mitchell, I don’t remember what choice I made that day, but I could have seen it. I didn’t.

I love the studio recording with Placido Domingo and Mandy Patinkin from 1996. That’s my jam. Photo Below: Unknown Production.

I would love to play Sancho Panza, but I think I’m past that point in my career. I am looking to direct it someday…but there are woefully few good parts for women in this show. That won’t stop me someday, but right now it doesn’t have what I need to make it a good choice.

It’s a great piece of theater. If the final moments of the show don’t get you, you have no heart. Truth. Favorite Song: Man of La Mancha (I Don Quixote.)

«Sonho Impossível

Sonhar, Mais um sonho impossível

Lutar, Quando é fácil ceder

Vencer, O inimigo invencível

Negar, Quando a regra é vender

Sofrer, A tortura implacável

Romper, A incabível prisão

Voar, Num limite improvável

Tocar, O inacessível chão

É minha lei, é minha questão

Virar esse mundo

Cravar esse chão

Não me importa saber

Se é terrível demais

Quantas guerras terei que vencer

Por um pouco de paz

E amanhã, se esse chão que eu beijei

For meu leito e perdão

Vou saber que valeu delirar

E morrer de paixão

E assim, seja lá como for

Vai ter fim a infinita aflição

E o mundo vai ver uma flor

Brotar do impossível chão»

"Sonho impossível", versão de Chico Buarque e Ruy Guerra da canção norte-americana "The impossible dream", de Joe Darion e Mitch Leigh.
