Full Moon Stages: Personal Notes from 50 Years of the Living Theatre

Judith Malina
0/5 ( ratings)
As cofounder of the internationally-known, highly-controversial radical political troupe, The Living Theater, author Judith Malina is one of the leading female countercultural figures of the 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond. in Moon Poem, she creates an intimate memoir in a unique format with a collection of personal notes written on every full moon for 50 years from 1964 to 2014.

These never-before-published short snippets, reveal her most private thoughts and inform what the The Living Theatre was performing as they wound their way from New York City to Italy, France, Belgium, Germany and Brazil in a nomadic series of notable performances of such underground classics as The Brig, The Connection, and Paradise Now. Malina is relentless in her commitment to the full moon schedule, writing regardless of her current life circumstance. Notes issue forth from hotels, trains—even prison, offering a light on the consequences of holding true to her code of the theatrical expression of her pacifist-anarchist principles.

The format of the book is well-suited for modern readers interested in history of the counterculture. In addition, the book includes 50+ rare historical photos from Living Theatre performances and intimate settings.
