This makes me think of the visceral power of the stage play, that IMO can surpass even the highest CGI budgeted movie (though I enjoy those too!).

I recall a play partly about a young woman who suffered from mental illness, which was symbolized by blue cloth and lighting meant to symbolize drowning - even decades later while the plot escapes me and the visuals are fuzzy I can remember the actress expressing the character's desperate cry, emoting frustrated anger while also being a cry for relief.

Just haunting in that numinous way you mention...
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
