Kaspar
The production refers to the historical figure of the Kaspar Hauser, knowned as “an orphan of Europe”. Brought up without contact with other people, locked in a small room, he doesn’t know who he is, doesn’t know people and can’t do anything. Presented in the aesthetics of a simple folk tale transferred into the past, Kaspar’s story shows how the social perception of the stranger changes and how his unexpected appearance influences the decisions and actions of the community.
