What: Struggles of youth in spotlight
Where: Grand Theatre, 1 Bd Robert Schuman, 2525 Luxembourg

Spring Awakenings takes a bold look at adolescence, sexuality, and society’s shifting norms through the lens of Frank Wedekind’s groundbreaking 1891 play. Though once censored for its raw treatment of topics like homosexuality, suicide, and rape, this contemporary adaptation brings the struggles of today’s youth into sharp focus.
