Directing
The sprawling story of the everyday triumphs and travails of the young toolmaker Jochen and many of the people populating his world, including the woman he loves, his eccentric family, and his colleagues, with whom he bands together to improve conditions on the factory floor.
An 3-hour project conceived by ten directors presenting the famous German legend of Kaspar Hauser, the story of a man who spent his childhood and adolescence raised on a cave by a strange man who kept him there for 18 years. One day, the man decides to take the young man out of the cave and takes him to a city where the under-developed subject will finally learn what it means to be a human being.
Reflected in an artificial and bombastically staged illusory world with Wagnerian compositions, glossy and satirical time references, 19th century German figures and traditions are stripped of their mythology and interpreted by the Germany of 1972.
