Spring Awakening / Buđenje Proleća / 2009

Premiere: Little Theatre “Duško Radović”, Beograd/Belgrade, 2009. The best theatre play of Little Theatre “Duško Radović” in the season 2009/2010. Grand Prix of the Eight Tiba Festival 2010, Belgrade, Serbia.

“I don’t know if Wedekind intended his play to be performed for young people, the ones it is about. Personally, I cannot think of a better audience.

This is Wendla’s, Moritz’s, Ilse’s and Martha’s story. The story of the ones who yearn to start living their own lives. They yearn and shun it at the same time. Or, as Moritz says to Melchior: “Why can’t I just sleep this through and wake up when it’s all over?””
