Institute History

  • 1994 Playwrights Lab

Description

Kaspar, a sixteen year old boy found in the wilderness, journeys from innocence and the primal to the hazards of modernity. After Kaspar’s capture, he is turned over to an organization doing research on theopathology and the origins of the religious impulse. As attempts are made to socialize Kaspar, a custody battle begins between his keepers at the research institute, a priest, and Kaspar’s only ally, a young girl with troubles of her own.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
