Kaspar was performed May 11th – 20th of the year 1970.

Synopsis:

Kaspar is based on the historical case of a 16-year-old boy who appeared from nowhere in Nuremberg in 1828 and who had to be taught to speak from scratch . . . Handke’s play is a downright attack on the way language is used by a corrupt society to depersonalize the individual.
