A Streetcar Named DESIRE

LOOK AFTER MY HEART... I'VE LEFT IT WITH ........................
I interpret it as a desperate plea for help and attention to one's emotional state.

The opportunity to watch and capture a power packed dance performance that exudes a strong innuendo of sexuality, passion, hatred, lust and maybe in the end real love....
Blanche the main character is a beautiful but emotionally disturbed lady.
She found herself alone and in desperate need to re-connect with her sister, Stella. 
Stella loved her sister and encourages her to stay with her while her sister sorts out her life.  
Stella and her husband shared a very loving relationship that filled 
with passionate sexual and brutish kind of love.
 Stanley dislikes the intrusion and showed animosity towards Blanche.


Blanche in her emotional state of disarray; creates chaos in the lives of people around her. 



Stella loves them both; in the end the decision to commit her sister into 
an institution is the only solution to prevent her from ruining all their lives. 
Commendable play by all the actors and dancers; a great director and producer 
and of course amazing music; not to mention the spectacular stage and lighting set 
at Pentas 1 of Kuala Lumpur Performance Arts Centre.
