Citing influences as diverse as Oscar Fischinger, Wassily Kandinsky, Tim Burton and King Tubby they fuse together animation, music and sound, gaming, technology to produce unique live AV experiences.

Deriving their name from Cervantes – famous novel Don Quixote, The Sancho Plan create fantastical worlds of adventure in which animated musical characters are triggered by a variety of electronic musical instruments and interfaces.

Their animated musical performances feature a live band surrounded by screens with the musicians orchestrating sounds and simultaneously controlling the on screen characters.

Intended as narrative stories as much as musical and visual performances they deliver their work using cutting-edge technology in such a way that the complexity of their machinery is almost invisible.

The collective are currently working on the first chapter of an interactive feature film working with award-winning writer Maurice Suckling. The show tells the story of a lost wanderer’s adventures through surreal and unfamiliar lands as he tries to find his way back home.
