How the Play and Musical "Spring Awakening" Transcend to a Religion for Depressed Teenagers Open Access
I propose that the musical Spring Awakening can transcend the realms of entertainment to collaborate with Hans Mol’s religious theory of the sacralisation of identity to intervene in teenage depression and suicidality. This is done through an appreciation of depression as an attack on positional normalcy and as an identity crisis, and a presentation of Spring Awakening as a religion and alternative spiritual treatment. I focus particularly on the character of Moritz and how the contribution of academic pressures and a need for validation in attachment-insecure teenagers can lead to an increased risk of suicide. The alternative to this is representation and espoused understanding, displayed in the way we internalise aspects of our surroundings and ‘attach’ to them, placing them on a pedestal; this is how I link the musical Spring Awakening to Hans Mol’s religious theory of the sacralisation of identity.
