“Voorjaarsontwaken reflects the fragmented worldview of the young actors on stage (and the audience), yet manages to capture it in one big suspenseful arc. As a jury, we see a much potential in this collective.”

Voorjaarsontwaken
WOLF WOLF
Voorjaarsontwaken” is set in the twilight zone between child and adult, outside school hours, at rehearsals. During the rehearsals of a school play, fiction and reality intertwine and a group of young people rehearse for life. They discover the world, each other, themselves and the associated urges and perils, while their bodies outgrow them and their heads can’t keep up. Boundaries are drawn as quickly as they are made undone. What feels confusing hurts as much as it soothes. Especially when choices about your own body are determined by others. Especially when most things aren’t negotiable. Especially when you are not good at feeling better. Especially when everything can still change. And especially when it’s all just theatre.
