Eranos: A Play is an imaginative account of a meeting at the Eranos Conference in 1947. Carl Jung, Aniela Jaffe, Erich Neumann, Rabbi Leo Baeck, and the founder of Eranos, Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn, are gathered on the grounds of Eranos where the stillness of the setting under the trees and the beauty of the lake and surrounding mountains create a magical aura. Guided by the imagination of the authors, the play is deeply informed by historical sources and deals with questions such as: ""What is evil?"", ""How does one recover from the trauma of war?"", and ""Is there a need for a new myth for our time?""
The volume also includes original essays by members of the Ensemble (all Jungian analysts), an in-depth dialogue between the authors, and invited essays by the Scientific Director of the Eranos Foundation, Riccardo Bernardini, by poet and novelist, Dale Kushner, by film-maker, Luis Moris, and an original poem by theater director, Michael Posnick.
