DULCINEA

 STARRING paloma san BaSILIO

Being the perfect woman, a model of grace and education, the lady and muse of the most famous knight-errant in history, is a burden Dulcinea no longer wishes to bear. In a world where ideals seem to have lost their place, where ethics have yielded to aesthetics and morality to corruption, there seems to be no point in continuing to defend impossible dreams. Or perhaps there is.

Blending music and performance, Paloma San Basilio steps into the shoes of this idealized woman built from clichés to champion her own identity. Through song and spoken word, she tells the untold side of the story—the perspective never written in chivalric tales—revealing the voices of so many “Dulcineas” who have long been silenced.

Accompanied by Julio Awad on piano, Paloma San Basilio offers a moving lesson in sincerity, journeying from humor and irony to pain and humility.
