Tramlijn Begeerte (A streetcar named desire) is a top classic from the Amerikaanse Realisme, and established Marlon Brando’s name as one of the greatest actors of the so-called method acting school. Where the actor completely merges into his character.
This piece is not a light and airy piece, it tackles some of the most unpleasant social and psychological themes: narcissism, alcohol addiction, domestic violence, and rape. Yet it is one of the most performed and beloved pieces in the theater. Because the roles are such a challenge for actors who can shine through the lifelike dialogues and character drawings. Through the emotions that strike the stage like whirlwinds. The piece is 75 years old and still a contemporary cry from the heart, a real theater classic therefore.
On stage, an unseen tough cast in our Kubox: Kevin Janssens, Clara Cleymans, Ben Segers, Evelien Bosmans, Sandrine Van Handenhove, Yemi Oduwale, Ann De Winne, Rino Sokol, Leo De Clippeleir, and Flora Van Canneyt.
