The South African Ballet Theatre’s rendition of Don Quixote is a feast to look at. The beauty of the production does not only lie in the dancer’s performance but also in the flamboyant tutus and generally inspired costumes. This short insert takes a peek into the world of dancers seldom seen. We see Manuel Noram (Don Quixote) completely transform into character as he takes us through the painstaking process of applying his make-up. We also find out a bit about the history of all those spellbinding costumes.
