Description: Judith Malina’s revolutionary career with The Living Theatre has
spanned six decades, traversed the globe and inspired generations of political
theater artists. Members of the ensemble—aged 7 to 70—host an evening of
performances and stories from Malina’s history. SEVEN MEDITATIONS ON POLITICAL
SADO-MASOCHISM March 9th – 10th: Wednesday and Thursday at 10:30pm March 15th –
30th: Tuesday and Wednesday at 10:30pm
A visceral examination of the social contract between the governed and the
government, Seven Meditations was written after Malina and members of the
company were imprisoned–and some tortured–by the Médici dictatorship in Brazil
in 1973, and hasn’t been performed since its debut. Considered one of the
company’s most significant pieces, the play explores Sacher-Masoch’s Six Houses
of Bondage: Love, Money, Property, State, War and Death, with a seventh
meditation on Revolutionary Change.
The Living Theatre Ensemble Directed by Judith Malina
