Event Duration: 120 minutes
Teenagers Melchoir, Moritz and Wendla are on the cusp of adulthood, pulled between innocence and responsibility. Physically blossoming and emotionally vulnerable, they have to find their own way when the adult world around them seems incapable of guiding them.
Returning to MUST after the sell-out 2013 production Columbine, Green Room nominee Daniel Lammin and a team of talented young theatre makers both honour the legacy of Wedekind's controversial play and question current Australian attitudes towards the transition into adulthood.
In the midst of our national crisis over teenage mental health and sexuality and debate fuelled by ignorance and bigotry, Awakening brings this timeless classic crashing into the twenty-first century.
This production will be performed in the Old Council Chambers, which is accessed via the Victoria Street entrance to Trades Hall.
