Un tramway nommé Désir
Grand Théâtre de Québec
Text by Tennessee Williams Translation, adaptation, and direction by Virginie Brunelle and Jean-Simon Traversy A co-production of Le Trident and DUCEPPE With Chanel Mings, Laurence Champagne, Gabriel Lemire, Eliot Laprise, Sophie Breton, Fabien Piché, and a six-musician brass band Design Marie-Hélène Dufort, Amélie Trépanier, Églantine Mailly, Étienne Boucher, Olivier Hébert, and Thomas Hébert She arrives with her suitcases, her illusions, and what remains of her former life. Blanche DuBois arrives at her sister Stella's, in New Orleans, in an apartment too small for two women and a man like Stanley Kowalski. Stanley, carnal and sovereign in his own territory, immediately senses that Blanche is a threat. Not to his safety. To his power. Thus begins a silent, implacable war, where every word is a weapon and every glass of whiskey a fortress. Stanley sets out to destroy Blanche slowly, methodically, undermining her credibility and turning her entourage against her by making her appear insane. What the play says today resonates with disturbing violence: how many Blanches are still silenced because their truth is deemed too fragile, excessive, too disturbing? How many Stellas close their eyes to preserve what they have? The streetcar still runs. And it still bears the same name. A Streetcar Named Desire is presented with the kind permission of the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, and International Literary Properties.
