Kein Platz für Idioten - Theater Akzent - Wien - 2027

Theater Akzent, Wien

To mark the 50th anniversary of this play, the Neue Bühne Wien is presenting Felix Mitterer’s magnificent debut success, which catapulted him into the ranks of Austria’s leading writers. A play that remains as relevant as ever for the whole family. Sebastian receives from a single pensioner the attention, affection, and loving, supportive understanding that his parents and the village community deny him. Under the man’s patient guidance, the boy develops abilities that had lain dormant due to the brutal disregard for him as a person deemed inferior. He learns to speak, do arithmetic, and play the flute. But when the boy, in his naivety, one day marvels at the differences of the female sex while watching a girl bathe, the village community brands him a potential offender against public decency. The quiet happiness of these two social outcasts is in danger.
