The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser

The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser was inspired by the case of Kaspar Hauser, a real-life “wild child” who appeared as a teenager in 1828 in the streets of Nuremberg, claiming to have been raised since infancy in a small dark cell, divorced from all contact with the outside world. Sparking the curiosity of a compassionate schoolmaster, who attempted to civilize this strange creature, Kaspar soon became a cause célèbre.

Built around a hypnotic central performance by the late Bruno S., a street performer who had spent much of his life in a mental institution, The Enigma of Kaspar Huaser is an unforgettable meditation on the nature of civilization and the fine line between sanity and madness.
