Dom Juan au Théâtre du Trident
Théâtre du Trident
She arrives with her suitcases, her illusions, and what remains of her old 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 works to destroy Blanche slowly, methodically, undermining her credibility and turning those around her against her by making her appear crazy. 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 carries the same name.
