Oct. 11—HIGH POINT — Triad International Ballet will perform in High Point for the first time this weekend with its production of the classic "Don Quixote," an artistic presentation based on the epic novel by noted Spanish novelist Miguel de Cervantes.

The show will be presented at 7 p.m. Friday at the High Point Theatre, 220 E. Commerce Ave.

The troupe, launching its inaugural season, premiered "Don Quixote" Saturday at the Carolina Theatre in Greensboro and now brings the show to High Point.

Originally published in 1605, "Don Quixote" tells the story of a middle-aged man in Spain who becomes obsessed with the chivalrous ideals he has read about in countless books. He becomes so obsessed, in fact, that he takes up his lance and sword to defend the helpless and destroy the wicked, even if it means tilting at windmills.
