Lee Breuer’s Japonaiserie Streetcar

“[W]ith firm guidance from a New York director with a long career in avant-garde theater,” the Comedie Francaise’s new staging of A Streetcar Named Desire takes place in “a fantasy world of dogugaeshi, sliding Japanese screens painted with menacing waterfalls and warriors, masked kurogo figures in black, and a long-haired Stanley in baggy pants and a satin tiger jacket.”
