Chaos Dragon and the Light - Live screening Q&A Dec 2023
'Creativity is the answer, not bitterness.'
Born in Budapest in 1935, Marika Henriques was ten years old when she was hidden from the Nazis and given a new name and new identity. Twelve years later she fled to England during the Hungarian Uprising and began her career as a Jungian therapist. She tells her story for the first time in Chaos Dragon and the Light, a documentary which asks 'Who are we when our identity is stolen?'
I watched the online premiere with my sketchbook in my lap, waiting to draw the Q&A session at the end. I recommend both the documentary and Marika's book The Hidden Girl: The Journey of the Soul (Shepheard-Walwyn, London).
