In this performance you will see seven scenes enacted from The Red Book by C.G. Jung. The book is a record of Jung’s private inner journey as he came to the bedrock of his psychology.
At the start of Liber Primus, the first part of The Red Book, we see Jung at the age of 38. He has lost his way in life, he is struggling with himself, and he finds that something essential is lacking in his perspective and attitude. He would call this “a loss of soul.” To recover his soul, he sets out on an inner journey of searching, wandering and exploration of alien territories within his psyche. This journey lasts some 18 years in total.
The Protagonist in this narrative is a specific and unique man, Carl Gustav Jung, but he can also represent an Everyman, that is, anyone who needs to go inward for a period, to leave “Spirit of the times” behind and journey with “Spirit of depths.”
In the performance, Paul Brutsche takes the role of the Protagonist (the Ego of the narrative), Dariane Pictet has the roles of Soul and Salome; John Hill plays Elijah, Izdubar and Philemon. Murray Stein will function as the Narrator, helping to tie the pieces together and to offer some guidance for understanding.
The First Scene in this performance takes place on Nov 12, 1913……
