Laughter is the Hearty Roar of a Lion in Man.
I suppose the Magic Theater and other highly symbolic Figures and Situations in Hesse's books were inspired by his work with a Jungian Analyst. The Magic Theater seems somewhat like Active Imagination that became a deep Crisis-Movement. He was prepped and drugged by those people he met. They appear to be a Destined Occasion. They existed in the book and in the life of the Character HH to Symbolize events and meetings in the Writer HH's life.
They released the Red and Black Jung Journals a long while back. The Magic Theater is facing his various selves, indulging in his desires, Integrating himSelf.
That Light and Holy Laughter of Mozart and the Noble Calmness of the Heights personified in Goethe is Nietzschean/Jungian. Many would be bold enough to say is Human.

I conveniently was shown an advert for this book, last night: Telling Silence: Thresholds to No Where in Ordinary Experiences by Charles E. Scott, Hardcover | Barnes & Noble® (barnesandnoble.com) , but look at the price. I found a video that seems to sum it up. If only they didn't make the guy stare into the sun for the last half of the interview. A Philosophy of Silence: Charles E. Scott's 'Telling Silence' (Nietzsche, Foucault, and Poeisis) - YouTube
It would have also been better without the music and stock footage that occasionally shows up over the conversation. But maybe they were proving a point.
