| Popis | The Austrian playwright Felix Mitterer’s Kein Platz für Idioten portrays a seemingly normal society in conflict with a deviant element. The protagonist, a mentally disabled boy rejected by his family and later taken in by an old man, disrupts not only his immediate surroundings but also the social order of a small Alpine village. Fearing that the presence of a disabled individual might deter affluent German tourists, the community ultimately accuses the boy of a fabricated crime and institutionalizes him, thereby removing the perceived disturbance. This study argues that disability and normality in Mitterer’s play can be interpreted in reverse: the boy and his caretaker may represent true normality, while the rest of society is shaped by abnormalities. |
