Festival in Ansbach from July 28th - August 4th, 2024

"Kaspar Hauser and the concept of humanization"

When Kaspar Hauser appeared in the world as if from nowhere at Pentecost 1828, he was described on the one hand as a half-wild animal-human, and on the other hand as an angel-like being from eons long past.In a very short time he was able to undergo rapid development and become part of "civilized" society, but he also lost crucial things.

ECKART BÖHMER,

Artistic director, theater director, speaker and author, founded the Kaspar Hauser Festival, which takes place every two years, together with the city of Ansbach in 1998.

In 2018 he was awarded the Culture Prize of the City of Ansbach.
