This event is offered to Calgary Jung Society Members only
Video conference & filmed drama presentation: Saturday 7th November 2009, 08:45am to 1:00pm
Room G382, Multimedia Department, Faculty of Medicine, University of Calgary.
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 performance has been staged in Zurich and London on several previous occasions to rave reviews. Our viewing will be from a professionally edited and produced DVD which lasts for 90 minutes, and will be preceded by a live and interactive discussion with Murray Stein from Zurich.
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. 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 cast: Paul Brutsche (C.G. Jung), John Hill (Victor White), Heike Weis (Barbara Robb, the Soror Mystica), Ann Lammers (Narrator).
This event is hosted by the Asheville Jung Center in North Carolina, and involves simultaneous broadcast and discussion between numerous Jung organizations across the world.
