Spring Awakening is a chant to earthly love, to human instinct, to all-powerful desire as the source of emotions and life. A chant to love as it is, without artful veils, without mystical or religious lies.

The performance preaches against conventionalism which distorts love itself, turning it into something unspeakable, into suffering and misfortune. It preaches against the stupid and ‘traditional’ concept of love, which infl uences kids who fall victims to social hypocrisy and modern upbringing.

Length: 2 hours 30 min
