Instructor, The Living Theatre
The troubled artist Gritt is struggling for relevance and belonging in an unwelcoming society, but then she undergoes a radicalization process in the name of art.
I am not free. There is a structure in my mind that imprisons me. This structure is the world. I obey certain laws. I could be punished. I cannot act upon my sexual desires. I cannot find the resources I need to create my art. I cannot stop war. I cannot live without money.
A visceral examination of the social contract between the governed and the government, the play explores Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's Six Houses of Bondage: Love, Money, Property, State, War and Death, with a seventh meditation on Revolutionary Change.
"Seven Meditations..." was created in 1973 by Julian Beck, Judith Malina & Friends.
