More than 50 years ago, Judith Malina and her husband, painter Julian Beck, founded The Living Theatre, a revolutionary ensemble that altered the history of the western stage. Filmmakers Karin Kaper and Living Theatre veteran Dirk Szuszies trace the company’s dramatic and colorful history with interviews and archive film clips. Today The Living Theatre remains vibrant under the direction of Malina (now 78), and is seen staging politically active events and locations around the world, from the Genoa G8 conference in 2001 to New York’s Ground Zero.
