In the organizer's words:

Born in 1987, director and playwright Bonn Park often deals with canonical material in his writing and searches for lost or future feelings of life in its echo chambers; playing with musical genres is a central stylistic element of his work. He writes about his engagement with the play: "Spring Awakening is about German teenagers at the end of the 19th century and the adults around them who decide what is right and wrong. Industrialization is in full swing. While progress overtakes everyone, people are fascinated and anxious. The future is coming very quickly, and nothing is certain anymore and nothing will ever be the same again (*wink wink*). This play takes place at precisely this time. A couple of teenagers know nothing at all, really nothing at all, not even where the babies come from. And the grown-ups around them know everything: what life is and how to behave.

Maybe I haven't been on this earth long enough, but for the first time in my lifetime at least, I'm experiencing a time when the rules of behavior don't come from the older ones, but from the youngest ones. All knowledge comes from the youngest, it is there, in the technology they can use. The old no longer have any knowledge to pass on, only stories about feelings and how good life could be. The monopoly on knowledge and right and wrong now lies with the young, who pay dearly for it with their inability to act and fear of everything. That's why I would like to perform "Spring Awakening" with pensioners in the roles of teenagers and young actors in the roles of adults. Old, wrinkled teenagers, full of feelings and desire for risk and heartbeat, tempered and captured by the dermatological high gloss of young people full of fear and regimentation.
