In aTim Burton's style,Lullaby for Wendla Bergmannis analt-folk goth fable, as Suzanne Vega was remixed by Stereolab.
The songwas originally composed byMaria Laura Ronzoni(guitar and voice) for the playSpring Awakeningby theGerman author Frank Wedekind(1864-1919).
Spring Awakeningis 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. But 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.
mLaureworked the song adding theelectronic arrangements by Massimo Marraccini. The nursery rhymes,folkish singingis echoed by adissonant tapestry of sounds,almost martial, a choice made to visualise the contrast between the children's innocence and the violence of adults.
