ONE SEA - TRAMWAY DESIRE

“A streetcar named Desire” once established Marlon Brando's name as one of the greatest actors in the world. Today, production house Één Zee brings this absolute top classic of American realism to our cultural center with a Flemish star cast that you have to take your hat off to. TRAMLIJN BEGEERTE (Streetcar Named Desire) is not a light piece. It cuts mercilessly through unpleasant social and psychological themes: narcissism, alcohol addiction, and domestic violence. Yet it remains one of the most beloved pieces in theater history. Precisely because it is so truthful. The roles form an ultimate challenge for actors, who can shine in lifelike dialogues and character drawings where the emotions race across the stage like whirlwinds. Under the direction of Koen Van Impe, this cast brings the 75-year-old piece back to life as a contemporary cry from the heart. With a brutal and heartbreaking final chord, this is a performance that leaves no one unmoved. A unique chance to see roaring names like Kevin Janssens and Clara Cleymans at work together in a repertoire piece of world format.
