The Mirror's Reflection

In ONE, some of the actors play two characters, the person they are in the world of 1920 where Hermann lives, and the mirror character that they are in the created world of his book. For example, Pearl Sun plays both Maria, Hermann's wife, and Kamala, the woman in the book who Siddhartha meets in the city. Paolo Montalban plays Gunther, Hermann's best friend, and Govinda, Siddhartha's best friend. Each actor bounces back and forth between the two roles to illuminate how each acts on the other. And in the case of Howard Kaye, he will be playing a whole series of characters that both Hermann and Siddhartha meet along their respective tracks, each so different but based on a common thread.
