Thu 5 Feb to Sun 15 Feb. By Hermann Hesse Adapted by Eric Hill from the novel Siddhartha and other writings by Hermann Hesse February 5-15, 2009 Laurie Theater The story of Siddhartha is well-known and well-loved, but its origins from the mind of Hermann Hesse owe much to his analyst Carl Jung and his collective unconscious theory of mankind. In this whimsical and poetic adaptation by Eric Hill, Hesse himself tells the story of the young Siddhartha’s journey into manhood and enlightenment as he explores the world and discovers himself. With the help of Jung, Freud and three Hindu Goddesses, Hesse finds parallels between himself and the man who would become a Budha. ‘Siddhartha’ is part of a year-long focus on the history, culture and influence of India in a program sponsored by t. 415 South Street, Waltham, 02454.
