about

Lullaby for Wendla Bergmann was originally composed by Maria Laura Ronzoni for a
rendition of the theatrical piece Spring Awakening by Frank Wedekind, a controversial work
written in 1891 defined by the author himself “eine Kindertragödie” (a children's tragedy).
Wendla is a 13-year-old who discovers love with a boy of her same age and becomes
pregnant. Her mother, wanting to hide this shame from their social circles, ends up killing
her while planning an abortion with the aid of a doctor.
mLau reworked the song adding the electronic arrangements by Massimo Marraccini. The
nursery rhymes, folkish singing is echoed by a dissonant tapestry of sounds, almost martial,
a choice made to visualise the contrast between the children's innocence and the violence
of adults. In a Tim Burton's style, Lullaby for Wendla Bergmann is an alt-folk goth fable, as
Suzanne Vega was remixed by Stereolab.
