Join us for a special sneak peek of Spring Awakenings.
Be a part of the creative process by attending an open rehearsal of this new work, premiering in April at the Théâtre des Capucins. Witness the artistry unfold, meet the creators and get an exclusive look at how the play is brought to life.
Spring Awakenings follows a cohort of adolescents as they grapple with the complexities of burgeoning sexuality in a society teetering between information overload and a call for structure. Originally penned in 1891, Frank Wedekind’s seminal play – which director Anne Simon and writer-dramaturg Antoine Pohu use as a framework – was deemed too audacious to be performed until 1906, after which it was repeatedly censored. Delving into subjects such as homosexuality, suicide and rape, it touches upon a plethora of themes still pertinent today. In this version, contemporary perspectives gleaned from interviews and workshops with today’s teenagers enrich the narrative. The creative team aims to incorporate original song writing and explore innovative ways to depict social media’s significance as a tool for self-expression and its role in shaping the worldview of today’s youth.
