In a world where curiosity is stifled and questions are met with silence, a group of teenagers finds themselves thrust into the chaos of adolescence without a guide. Melchior, an intellectual rebel; Wendla, an inquisitive girl; and Moritz, a boy burdened by academic pressures—grapple with their budding desires and the harsh realities of growing up in a society that refuses to provide answers. When it first premiered in 1906, Frank Wedekind’s Spring Awakening ignited scandal and censorship with its daring exploration of sexuality and rebellion that remains relevant today as a timeless exploration of the dawning of youth.
