The work was commissioned by The Alley Theatre for the production of Quixote Nuevo. The sculptural installation comments on topics such as legacy, territorial borders and mental health. The project was created in collaboration with students participants of El Zócalo, a place making initiative by The Alley Theatre.

The Alley Theatre commissioned the project to be displayed during the premiere of Quixote Nuevo, directed by Austin, Texas-based KJ Sanchez and starring “Sesame Street’s” Emilio Delgado, Quixote Nuevo is an inspiring reimagining of Cervantes’ Don Quixote by celebrated playwright Octavio Solis. Set in a fictional modern-day Texas border town, Quixote and his sidekick embark on an adventure in search of long-lost love. Infused with imagination, Tejano music, and true Texas soul, Quixote Nuevo shows the challenges of living in this modern world all the while in pursuit of a lost dream. The play is a co-production with Hartford Stage and Huntington Theater Company.

Ambulantes also incorporated students participating in the community outreach program El Zocalo.
