“[A] fervid, otherworldly production by Stacy Klein's Double Edge Theatre company-- that brings the life of the imagination to the stage . . . If there is a familiar image that might help to understand the effect of this visual poetry, it is the scene in Fellini's La Strada …Ms. Klein creates indelible images. Poetic, bathetic, punning and perverse, her show is a rough jumble of wonderment.”— Liesl Schillinger, The New York Times

“The hour-long pocket epic unwinds in an overlapping series of dreamlike episodes extrapolated from the book . . . engrossing, often delightful, and visually breathtaking.”— "Chris Rohman, The Valley Advocate

"the UnPOSSESSED is really extraordinary---a visually gorgeous piece of theater, with marvelous acting. What creativity!" Barbara Mujica, best-selling novelist and author of Frida

the UnPOSSESSED, based on the story of Don Quixote, fuses Double Edge's unique performance methodology with popular circus arts, aerial work, shadow puppets, stilts, and commedia dell'arte with live original music and stunning imagery. This work, which celebrated the 400th anniversary of Cervantes's novel, re-imagines the story of Don Quixote's mad quest for idealism in the face of destruction. 

the UnPOSSESSED premiered in October 2004 at La MaMa ETC (New York City), and has toured to The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (DC), The Palace Theater, co-produced by Colgate University (NY), Framingham State College (MA), The Austin Arts Center (CT), Mt. Holyoke College (MA), Hampshire College (MA), the Performance Studies International Conference (RI), Festival de los Clasicos (Spain), Centre for Theatre Practices - Gardzienice (Poland), Teatr Kana (Poland), Teatr Lalek co-produced by Song of the Goat (Poland), the American Repertory Theatre (MA), the Flynn Center (VT), and 7 Stages (GA). the UnPOSSESSED was presented as part of Double Edge Theatre's The Garden Cycle in the spring and fall of 2009 and will tour to the Revolutions Festival in Albuquerque, NM in January 2010. 

the UnPOSSESSED has been funded by: the Trust for Mutual Understanding, the National Endowment for the Arts, CEC ArtsLink, the Program for Cultural Cooperation between Spain's Ministry of Culture and US Universities, the Cervantes Institute of New York, the Spanish Embassy, and the Spanish Consulates of Boston and New York.
