Rikki Ziegelman
Everyone has one show that has stayed with them for years, and for years to come. Whether it was the first show you saw as a child, the first show you were in, or just a show that has the lyrics to explain how you feel, when you're at a loss for words. Theatre has a certain way of moving individuals by creating characters that can comprehend their surroundings, whenever we have trouble doing so.
One show that holds a certain significance in my heart is Spring Awakening, for its immense impact on the theatre community as well as on my endeavor as a performer. Each lyric, each movement, and each line holds such symbolism. Albeit the show is set in Germany during the 1800's, it's themes and motives still hold true in the 2015 technology-run society. The show recently announced its return to Broadway after Deaf West Theatre's extremely successful run in California.. The show hasn't even been closed for a decade and yet theatre goers seem to be raving about its return. But what is it about Spring Awakening that is so appealing to audiences?
Spring Awakening is about rebellion, which is interesting because the show is so religion and authority based. It's about coming to terms with your motives and how they will further affect your family, your friends, and yourself. There is a constant mention of God and Christ; yet, Act I ends with a sex scene that is questionably considered a rape. So morally, are these kids obtaining to their religious standards by constantly praying? Or, are they 'inept' and 'degenerate' for experimenting with their innocence? Can prayer excuse your mistakes, or are these actions even considered mistakes at all?
Spring Awakening is about power and dominance. Power among peers, power among elders, and power among significant others. There is a reason why Wendla wants to know so much about her body and her sexuality, there's a reason why Moritz acts up during Latin class, there's a reason why Melchoir is so persistent when Wendla is just about to say yes to having sex. They yearn for power- both consciously and subconsciously. Which is why the finale, 'Song of Purple Summer,' is so crucial to the shows ending. The color purple symbolizes royalty, and with royalty comes power. Power over others, power over situations, power to succeed.
Spring Awakening is about innocence. These kids are so desperate to know more about themselves in terms of their sexuality. They know what they read in books, they know what they feel, and they know how they want to feel- but how to perform all of these actions and how to handle the sensation is what they struggle with. Some may argue that Melchoir raped Wendla, which is a valid accusation because of the play version and Wendla's confusion and questioning. Others may argue that Melchoir was just as innocent as Wendla was- he knew how sex worked and that he wanted to release his 'frustration,' but he had no idea what he was doing to the innocent lady lying before him.
Spring Awakening is about change. Change within yourself, change within others, and change within time. 'Purple Summer' is an important symbol for the allusion of time- for it is a flower that blossoms every summer. Time passes, flowers are planted, blossom, and then they fade away. No matter the weather or the time; just like us. We are born, we live, we die. We beat on no matter what because that is life. We have changes within ourselves, such as puberty, sexual awakening, or moving past your former mistakes. We change every single day whether we want to or not.
So back to reality now- why is this 18th century show so important to us? Why do we adore it so much? Because we identify with the kids struggling with themselves. No matter what age you are or where you are in your life. Maybe you aren't right now, maybe not yesterday, and maybe not tomorrow. However at some point we all will struggle with a fight for power. At some point we will lose our innocence in some way, shape or form. At some point we have or have had a spring awakening, and we will chant our song of purple summer.
Bust out your kandi bracelets and start hydrating. Spring Awakening Music Festival is back for a fourth year at Soldier Field and the midwest's largest EDM event is bigger than ever. The Bears' home field is not often the site of a joyous occasion, but that changes this weekend as four stages worth of bass and bangers invade the historic stadium.
This year's fest features some massive headliners like Zedd and Hardwell in addition to a handful of high value repeats from last year (Tiesto, Diplo, Tommy Trash and Sander van Doorn to name a few). With so much talent taking to the decks, we broke down our top picks by day to keep you shuffling, jiving and thumping all weekend long.

Eric Prydz
Spring Awakening Time Slots Free
Arguably the most highly regarded DJ at Spring Awakening, Eric Prydz was in the game way before terms like 'trap' or 'big room' were used to described music. Yet another piece of the Swedish dance dynasty, Prydz brand of progressive house is built on complex buildups that explode into arena sized sonics unlike anything else at this festival. His one hour set on the Equinox stage is far too brief—good luck finding tickets for his sold out aftershow at the Mid.
Thomas Jack
The grandfather of the 'tropical house' movement, Thomas Jack doesn't get enough credit. The Australian producer coined the term when pressured by a friend to name a genre for his smooth summery beats and now that sound has carved out a major place for itself in this scene. While Thomas Jack is the one responsible, it's a kid named Kygo who seems to be getting all the glory these days (including a closing set at Sunday of this year's Lollapalooza). Well, you're still number one in our book Thomas.
The Floozies
A late addition to the lineup, The Floozies are one of the only live acts at Spring Awakening this year. The funkafied duo from Lawrence, KS consists of brothers Mark and Matt Hill ripping into a guitar and drum set over some hot beats. Sampling everything from Ludacris to Ron Burgundy, these two put on a killer set and are a nice change of pace at a festival that largely runs on laptops and mixers.
Saturday
JACK Ü
What's weirder than Diplo and Skrillex joining forces and releasing a song with Justin Bieber? The super group's 6:30pm time slot at Spring Awakening, of course! While it's disappointing that two of the biggest DJs in the world were given a measly hour-long set before the sun goes down, we wouldn't miss it for the world. JACK Ü combines the screeching energy of a Skrillex track with Diplo's classic jungle beats to form something great. Live collaborations of this magnitude are rare in dance music and this is not one to miss.
Skream
A pioneer of dubstep, Skream rose from the UK underground to unleash his grimey basement sound on the world. The result was one of the the largest movements in modern EDM and one that helped artists like Skrillex and Excision rise to stardom in the U.S. Since then, Skream has stopped playing the bassy stuff and moved on to a more experimental and futuristic space that finds him creating everything from warehouse techno to disco and beyond. Skream is a testament to what the UK has done for dance music and without him, a good portion of this lineup may not be where they are today.
Grandtheft
Among the best remix artists around, Toronto's Grandtheft has pulled off high quality flips of Calvin Harris, Rihanna, Schoolboy Q and countless others. Heavily endorsed by Mad Decent label head Diplo, Grandtheft is on the cusp of a debut record release and Spring Awakening is the perfect opportunity to see what he's got in store. Taking to The Hangar stage as part of the curated 'Bass Kitchen' event, the producer provides a solid middle ground between the blow your ears off bass and mellow stuff.
Sunday
Zeds Dead
One of promoter React Present's all-time favorite artists, Zeds Dead makes multiple trips to Chicago every year. The Toronto duo recently played a two-night run for New Year's Eve and was seen at the North Coast Music Festival just a few months prior. It's not hard to see why they keep coming back. The duo puts on a huge show and is constantly innovating. Despite coming onto the scene as a dubstep act in 2009, Zeds Dead have tried their hand at most everything and whether they're dropping low-end bombs or producing a single with Twin Shadow, the result is always something great.
Keys N Krates
More electronic band than DJs, Keys N Krates combines live drums, keys and mixing to form something entirely its own. With a sound that leans towards hip-hop instrumental more than house music, the trio is yet another example of the diverse talent coming out of Toronto. Watching these three switch things up on the fly is a total treat and a far cry from the pre-recorded sets that too often bring down the energy of huge EDM events like Spring Awakening.

TJR
Spring Awakening Time Slots Online
TJ Rozdilsky never planned to become a jetsetting DJ playing festivals by day and Vegas residencies by night. He went to college to become a professional golfer, but all it took was one rave to create the behemoth that is TJR. A connoisseur of the bouncey electro house that dominates festivals like SAMF, Rozdilsky doesn't push any boundaries or change the way this music works. His songs are stupid fun and the perfect excuse to jump up and down for a while while steam cannons blast in every which way imaginable. It's commercial EDM at its finest.
