Spring Awakening (German:Frühlings Erwachen) (also translated as Spring's Awakening and The Awakening of Spring) is the GermandramatistFrank Wedekind's first major play and a seminal work in the modernhistory of theatre. It was written sometime between autumn 1890 and spring 1891, but did not receive its first performance until 20 November 1906 when it premiered at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin under the direction of Max Reinhardt. It carries the sub-title A Children's Tragedy. The play criticises the sexually oppressive culture of nineteenth century (Fin de siècle) Germany and offers a vivid dramatisation of the erotic fantasies that it breeds. Due to the controversial subject matter (puberty, sexuality, rape, child abuse, homosexuality, suicide, abortion), the play has often been banned or censored.
It was first staged in English in 1917 in New York City. This performance was threatened with closure when the city's Commissioner of Licenses claimed that the play was pornographic, but a New York trial court issued an injunction to allow the production to proceed. One matinee performance was allowed for a limited audience. There was a 1955 Off-Broadway production at the Provincetown Playhouse. In 1963, the play was produced in England, but for only two nights and in censored form. It was also produced in 1978 by Joseph Papp, directed by Liviu Ciulei. A musical adaptation of the play opened off Broadway in 2006 and subsequently moved to Broadway, where it garnered eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The play was adapted for television as The Awakening of Spring in 2008, under the direction of Arthur Allan Seidelman. It starred Jesse Lee Soffer, Javier Picayo, and Carrie Wiita.
Spring Awakening Music Festival is an electronic music festival that has taken place at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois since 2012. The Main Stage of the Festival is located on the heart of the field itself, while the 2 smaller stages surround the outside of the stadium to produce a very loud sound that is heard throughout the atmosphere. It takes place generally in June. In 2015, the festival will be age restricted (18+) for the first time.
History
With a city that is largely known for its culture of House Music, Spring Awakening Music Festival was introduced to the city of Chicago in 2012 by the Chicago-based promoting agency React Presents. With headliners Skrillex and Afrojack the Festival received a very large turn out and has then been continued to present time. Spring Awakening Music Festival has included DJ sets from the ranks of popular DJs such as Calvin Harris, Tiesto, Datsik, Excision, Diplo, Dillon Francis, and Hardwell all the way down to up and coming producers such as Bro Safari, Adventure Club, Figure, Zeds Dead, and Borgore. Over the years, the Festival has become increasingly popular due to the large fan base of Electronic Dance Music near the Chicago-land area. As people now come from across the globe just to attend the Festival, there are discussed rumors that the Festival could be extending on wards towards many other states.
