A streetcar named desire

Created in 2023 for Dekkadancers in Prague - a jazz infused, twisted dance theatre experience based on the play by Tennessee Williams's classic play. Set in New Orleans in the intense summer heat, the journey of desire and conflict ride the fast track. Blanche DuBois, a former southern belle, unexpectedly visits her estranged sister Stella and alluring husband Stanley. Blanche’s fragile world begins to fracture as Stanley stalks closer to the truth.

The score features jazz musicians Robbie Robson, Björn Dahlberg, Nick Smalley and Frank Moon performing the original music, plus some classic period recordings. 


 

Directed & choreographed by Arthur Pita

Original music composed by Frank Moon

Set & Costume by Yann Seabra
