Spring Awakening: The Musical
livre et lyriques de Steven Sater
music de Duncan Sheik Dirigé par Christopher Moore et Gabrielle Soskin Direction musicale de David Terriault |
Basée sur la pièce de théâtre renommée de Wedekin, écrite en 1891, la version musicale de Spring Awakening a gagné plusieurs prix à New York lors de sa première en 2006.
L'angoisse vécue par l'adolescent à la recherche de sa propre identité et de sa propre vérité est aussi pertinente aujourd'hui que lors de l'écriture de cette pièce. Une adaptation musicale contemporaine contribue à situer la pièce à la réalité du 21e siècle. Nous lanĉons une invitation aux étudiants. Présentée sur scène par des artistes de leur propre génération, cette pièce musicale sera sûrement une source d'inspiration pour les jeunes d'aujourd'hui. Persephone est fière de présenter cette pièce musicale, mise en scène par Gabrielle Soskin et Christopher Moore. Directeur musical: David Therriault. |
