Spring Awakening in the Tuktuk (2010)

Description:
Translated into Arabic, the text of German writer Frank Wedekind (Spring Awakening, 1891) has been adapted in regard to the prevailing situation of Egyptian youth; their common experiences were taken as a base. Spring Awakening is the story of adolescents growing up in a small German city. Rigid schooling and high parental expectations crackle their minds. Yet the rising desire for self-determination and independence triggers rejection and reaction. The subject is sensitive: How does it feel, when individual longings and sexual desires are confronted with certain social, political or religious agreements? Or when the criticism of infidel behavior generates both curiosity and guilt?
