Vingtaines (English: Twentysomethings) is a Carrelian musical comedy with music and lyrics by Amaury Vérac, and book by Navie Écause. The original 1975 production only lasted 3 performances before it was banned by the Subversive Media Act, though it was revived soon after the act was repealed and has run continuously on Royal Dislismont since 1988, making it the third longest-running show on Royal Dislismont. Vingtaines is a notable example of a concept musical, following the single Roussel through a number of vignettes as he interacts with his friends during the Heat-Wave of 1966.
Background
Vingtaines was inspired by a series of poems written in 1967 by Claus Schirlitz, a late associate of Vérac. Unusually for the period before the lapse of the Second State Protection Act, these poems, which dealt with explicit themes, went uncensored by the Wegscheider regime.
