At the Feldkircher Literature Days on May 10, 2019, Felix Mitterer criticized the Wikipedia article, which portrayed him as a local author in the classic sense.

Mitterer describes himself as a “Tyrolean local poet and folk author” and continues the tradition of folk plays in content and form with his works, which often use a dialect artificial language . In doing so, he mostly takes up problematic and controversial topics, such as the penetration of fascism into the rural community in the play No beautiful land , or the relationship between Germans and Austrians using the example of tourism in Tyrol in the satire Die Piefke Saga . It was broadcast by ORF as a multi-part television series and was highly controversial when it appeared in 1991. Above all, the works The Piefke Saga and Sold Home (also broadcast by ORF) helped Felix Mitterer to achieve his big breakthrough in the late 1980s. His protagonists are often socially isolated outsiders, as in No Place for Idiots or The Wild Woman .

Based on the story of Pius Walder , he wrote scripts for several Tatort episodes set in Austria .

For the first time since 1983, Felix Mitterer was back on stage as an actor in 2012. At the Tyrolean folk theater in Telfs, he played the monkey Rotpeter in the dramatization of the story A report for an academy by Franz Kafka .

Many of Mitterer's works, such as the play No Place for Idiots, Visiting Time and Siberia (premiered in 1989, Tyrolean Volksschauspiele Telfs / ORF recording and filming), premiered in 1977 at the Volksbühne Blaas in Innsbruck, are performed again and again.

In 2020 he published the novel None of You about Angelo Soliman .
