In A Streetcar Named Desire, Hamburg Ballet artistic director John Neumeier transforms Tennessee Williams’s immortal drama of sexual tension and cultural adversity into a visual tapestry of raw yet majestic choreography. The ballet tells the story of Blanche DuBois, a wilting Southern belle who travels to New Orleans to live with her sister Stella, only to tragically clash with her brutish husband Stanley and his animalistic lifestyle. In denial of her tumultuous past, Blanche clings to a fallen antebellum world while losing touch with reality, conveyed by Neumeier’s plotted footwork of leaps, lifts, and slides as the denizens of New Orleans circle her like the ghost of a geometry teacher. Even the most savage moments of the play are infused with this dreamlike grace. Stanley’s eventual assault of Blanche is marked by violent flails punctuated by mesmerizing twirls. “It shows who we are as humans…the good, the bad, and the ugly,” the ballet’s director of education, Alyssa Herzog Melby, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
As the ballet unfolds inside the historic Benedum Center, the theater highlights the setting of postwar New Orleans with jambalaya-scented curtains and the dusky glow of more than 90 crystal chandeliers, sconces, and torchieres.
