Categorical thought shifts, blurs, and gives way in this new creation inspired by Tennessee William’s Streetcar Named Desire. Performers whiplash between wild theatrics and the hyper-real as they tear into the haunting and shattering effects of trauma. Childhood games become menacing. The crush of internal voices in emotional duress becomes external. Characters collapse and psyches merge on the frenetic seams of poetry and panic.
