Synchronicity Poster

In 1931 the brash and brilliant young physicist Wolfgang Pauli approached the world-renowned analyst Carl Jung for help. Pauli’s neurosis had wreaked such havoc with his psyche that when Jung first saw him, he felt as if the “wind had blown over from the lunatic asylum.” In their discussions they struck sparks off each other and in the end not one but both of them were changed. Synchronicity is about psychology, physics, alchemy and the extraordinary things that can happen when two brilliant minds meet. It is a bromance, sometimes deep, sometimes moving and sometimes even hilarious, and a play about how a meeting of the minds can change the world.
