Watch this brief trailer highlighting the theater piece we will be broadcasting and discussing from Zurich.
This fall, the International School of Analytical Psychology in Zurich will stage a theatrical performance of The Jung-White Letters (Routledge, 2007). This correspondence describes a dramatic trajectory in the intense personal relationship and intellectual exchange between the aged psychologist,
C. G. Jung, and the younger Roman Catholic theologian, Victor White, O.P.
A Performance of
THE JUNG-WHITE LETTERS

In 1945, shaken by the terrible revelations of the War that was ending, two men became caught up in a shared mission to transform the spiritual and psychological life of the western world. Driven by this enormous vision, C.G. Jung and Victor White, each a master in his field, agreed to work together on the borderlands of psychology and religion. They risked much on the venture. White, especially, risked his career as a Dominican theologian and arguably his life. In time it became clear that, in their irresolvable debate about the problem of evil, they faced a major stumbling block. This argument revealed the true depth of the chasm between their thought-worlds. Their friendship survived many bruises but, with Jung's Answer to Job and White's published response to it, the relationship broke almost beyond repair. Taken as a whole, their story is a tragedy. But like all classical tragedies, it has vital interludes of laughter and healthy glimpses of eros - both profane and sacred.
The performance is based on a careful selection of the letters exchanged between Prof. Carl Jung and Fr. Victor White, O.P. between 1945 and 1960. It is an unforgettable experience of drama and intellectual stimulation as the story of this rich and multifaceted relationship unfolds.
The cast: Paul Brutsche (C.G. Jung), John Hill (Victor White), Heike Weis (Barbara Robb, the Soror Mystica), Ann Lammers (Narrator)
Murray Stein will give an introduction to the performance.
The performance, which has been staged in Zurich and London on several previous occasions and to rave reviews, lasts for 90 minutes and will be followed by a live and interactive discussion with Murray Stein from Zurich.
