One of the contemporary classics of American literature, Tennessee Williams' Un Tramway nommé Désir, will return to the stage in Paris. The Théâtre des Bouffes Parisiens will host performances of this theatrical adaptation from January 31 to April 28, 2024, starring well-known actors such as Cristiana Reali, Alysson Paradis and actor Lionel Abelanski.
The story takes place in post-war New Orleans. It follows the story of Blanche DuBois, a woman with a troubled, grief-stricken past, who finds refuge with her sister Stella and her husband Stanley Kowalski, a thick, terrifying brute. The drama quickly unfolds after Blanche's arrival, revealing the flaws and heart-rending secrets of each character.
The great strength of 'A Streetcar Named Desire' lies as much in the complexity of its characters as in its meticulous direction. Written by renowned American playwright and author Tennessee Williams, the play is distinguished by its intense exploration of human emotions, from love to hate, desire to repulsion.
Directed by Pauline Susini, this new adaptation of Un Tramway nommé Désir at the Théâtre des Bouffes Parisiens promises to bring a new reading to this cult work, illustrating the tormented emotions of the protagonists while respecting the author's original intention.
For connoisseurs of American literature, or simply fans of contemporary theater, the adaptation of'A Streetcar Named Desire' is a chance to witness the performance of a strikingly powerful work that continues to move generations, decades after its creation: at the Théâtre des Bouffes Parisiens, from January 31 to April 28, 2024.
