Description:
Performing the Classics is a solo-performer storytelling program that dramatizes four classic selections of literature from the Western tradition including Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven, Homer’s The Odyssey, the Book of Job from the Bible, and the fairytale Jack and the Beanstalk.
“A work of art exists as an autonomous being.”
— C.G. Jung
Jungian symbols will be analyzed within classic works of literature as projections of the unconscious. Aesthetic performance is therapeutic through understanding the healing properties of reconnecting the conscious and unconscious and could create a numinous experience. Art and the realm of experience coincide and foster a development of “self”.
