from the Stefan Brecht’s Article: Revolution at the Brooklyn Academy.

The Living Theater’s four splendid spectacles were a great event. Like an astonishing portion of the country’s popular music, they proved to be in content and form outside the social system, not structured by it nor, except as outlet, implementing it: liberated territory.

Below is a script for the anti-theater masterpiece(?) Paradise Now.

“This chart is the map. The essentail trip is the voyage from the many to the one. The plot is revolution.”

In the film Paradise Now documenting a performance of the piece in Brussels and Berlin, the “actors” after haranguing the audience for hours, with naked calisthenics and existential questions like “why can’t I smoke marijuana”, yell something like, “leave the theater, the real theater is in the streets”. People tumble toward the door, presumably heading for some kind of barricade.
