“Deseo” by Ballet Flamenco La Rosa, Inspired by A Streetcar Named Desire

Deseo is a full evening length work, using Flamenco music and dance as a language to tell the iconic story of one of the most critically acclaimed plays of the 20th Century. With some of the most engaging characters in American Theatre, Tennessee Williams’ sensuous and emotional work centers around troubled former schoolteacher Blanche DuBois, who leaves small-town Mississippi and moves in with her sister, Stella Kowalski, and her husband, Stanley, in New Orleans. Blanche’s flirtatious Southern-belle presence causes problems for Stella and Stanley, who already have a volatile relationship. This sets the stage for intense drama, as each of the characters fights his or her demons and struggles to escape the world around them, in a violent storm of frustrated dreams, poetry, love, passion, illusion and cruelty.

This production depicts scenes of violence and sexual content that may not be suitable for individuals 16 years of age or under. Parental discretion is advised.
