A jazz infused, twisted dance theatre experience based on the play by Tennessee Williams. 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. Through vibrant choreography, song and an enticing cast, we get transported to a time in which collide reality and illusion, fragility and masculinity, heartiness and indifference.
The enigmatic DEKKADANCERS brings in bold director/choreographer Arthur Pita to re-interpret this classic 1947 Tennessee Williams play as a full out sweaty, jazz infused, twisted dance theatre experience. Pita brings in his regular collaborators, composer Frank Moon and designer Yann Seabra. Together they plunge deep into this physical, psychological and yearning masterpiece.
The three artists all live and work in London. Arthur Pita (originally from Portugal), Frank Moon (British), and Yann Seabra (originally from Brazil) stated productions for the most prestigious theatres in the world, such as The Royal Ballet and Sadler’s Wells in London, the San Francisco Ballet and the Joyce Theatre in New York.
