Hilda and Freud: Collected Words: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Hilda and Freud: Collected Words" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This play is based on Hilda Doolittles Tribute to Freud, the letters she exchanged with Freud and her literary circle, as well as some of her poetry. Hilda, a forty-seven year old poet, met Freud, who was then in his late seventies, in 1930s Vienna. It was the beginning of a startling love affair, with exchanges of gifts, letters and flowers, both within and beyond the psychoanalytical setting. During the play, the public and the reader accompany Hilda on her visit to Freuds residence, shortly after his death in London, guided by the Narrator on this tour around the house as through the chambers of her mind. In this visit Hilda revives moments of her life and analysis, which she defined as a free verse relationship with Freud. In a psychoanalytical, non-conventional, treatment, she works through her war traumas as well as her illuminating cosmic and oceanic epiphanies.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to thank Danuza Machado, curator of the performance Hilda and Freud: Collected Words as well as the staff of the Freud Museum for allowing us to stage our tribute to Freud and to Hilda Doolittle in this poetic site on the history of psychoanalysis. A special thanks to Darian Leader, Dawn Kemp, Ivan Ward, and to our Portuguese friends Francisco da Silva and Daniel Bento who made it possible. I would also like to express my gratitude to the Brazilian Embassy for sponsoring the Rio-London trip for all the Unconscious on Stage Company members and most especially to the ambassador Roberto Jaguaribe and the cultural attach Helena Gasparian as well as to FAPERJ for the grant support by Edital de Produo e Divulgao das Artes. I am deeply grateful to Ana Vicentini who has been my partner since the birth of the project, for also being involved during the writing, acting, and giving life to it in Freud's house; to Regina Miranda for her art for the mise en scne, to Jos Eduardo Costa Silva for bringing music to objects and feelings and playing it with his lute; to Diogo Fugimura for his oriental quietness and visual art, to Annabel Quinet and Alexandre Vessoni whose youth and enthusiasm lightened us all; to Beto de Abreu for his letter-costume; to Miguel Abeledo for his hints on direction during rehearsals; to Niura Bellavinha for her visual conception of the play; to Alison McGowan for helping us with the English. Last but not least I also would like to thank the Ph.D. program of psychoanalysis, health and society of the UVA (Universidade Veiga de Almeida) in Rio de Janeiro for supporting my research on theatre and psychoanalysis.

H. D. AT THE FREUD MUSEUM

Dawn Kemp

T wenty Maresfield Gardens, Hampstead, North London, the last home of Sigmund Freud is a place of pilgrimage. Not just for the psychoanalytic cognoscenti but for artists, writers, filmmakers, cultural aficionados of every kind. It is the archaeological site of Freud's material remains, a physical palimpsest of the development of his ideas: his library; the original psychoanalytic couch; his collection of over 2,000 figures from antiquity, fecund with stories: Osiris the god of the afterlife, the questioner; the Sphinx, Oedipus great tester; Athena the virgin goddess of wisdom and war and Thoth the god of wisdom, inventor of writing are there among the hundreds gathered in cabinets; on recessed shelves; on table and desk tops, mute witnesses to the revelations of the fragile souls who came to Freud for greater understanding of themselves.

Maresfield Gardens, a leafy street in an affluent London suburb, is an unlikely place to find the genius loci of psychoanalysis and the objects that informed the most influential cultural theories of the modern world, yet behind the doors of number twenty that is exactly what exists. On the 12th November, 2013, there could have been no more fitting location for the world premiere of Hilda and Freud: Collected Words, a play that captures the essence of one of Freud's most fascinating friendships.
