Die Glasmenagerie at Festspielhaus Baden‐Baden

About the Event

Tennessee Williams called his play 'The Glass Menagerie' 'A Game of Memories'. Tom looks back on his years in a fatherless American lower middle‐class family, in a triangle of fate with his mother and dreamy, handicapped sister. For John Neumeier, this Tom is more: the alter ego of Tennessee Williams, the alter ego of the artist in general, whose creativity threatens to shatter his cramped circumstances. A coup that enables the choreographer to charge his main characters with wishes for the future, disappointments from the past and an intense present. 'Beautiful to cry about' was the headline in Ballettjournal after the Hamburg premiere in 2019.
