Spring awakening

Everything happens so fast in the play that I caught myself wondering if it wasn't simply meant to be a musical. It is short and powerful, and I can only imagine how it was received in 1891. Its message, of course, is still very important today.

At times too heavy, at times too light. Deserving of another read, maybe another translation. Sometimes the musical seems very far from the “source material,” yet other times it seems a perfect fit.
