Mark Penzak: This performance was a tremendous opportunity to work with two talented artists, learn new things - and play with a few old ones too. Adapting The Conference of the Birds was engaging but difficult as the book is built on a series of interlocking poems not intended to stand alone. If you get the chance, read the poem - I found it fascinating and beautiful. Similarly, discovering Jung knocked my socks off! What an complex mix of intellect and mysticism, science and spirit. Reading Jung changed the way I see the world.....And really, is anything more enriching than that?
