lighting the lights/performing the unconscious

(from the program notes)

I've just come from the rather astonishing performance of Doctor Faustus Lights the Lights (yes, go see it tomorrow night--last chance!). The piece about the production in Bryn Mawr Now emphasizes the fact that it is a valedictory to Goodhart-as-we-know-it. What it DOESN'T mention is what an astonishing representation of the play of the unconscious this play is. Maybe Jessica Rizzo--who was "Death" in a gorgeous black gown--can tell us a little next week, about how it feels to (consciously?) perform the unconscious?
