I restored and released on DVD the only existing videotape of Julian Beck, Judith Malina and the Living Theatre performing "Turning the Earth - A Legacy of Cain" which I videotaped on May 17, 1975 using a B&W open reel Sony PortaPack on Pittsburgh's Northside.

No, this was in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, actually on the Northside, in an empty lot near the abandoned house that the troupe lived in for a couple of months. That summer I was renting an apartment nearby and met them - they were rehearsing outdoors. I was fascinated and got their permission to record the first public performance which coincided with the first Earth Day.
New Beggining probably means how a dirtfield is a symbol of endless possibility which is actually cliche to people who graduate in the usa with a art degree.The graduation hat is brown for this reason.
It was an alternative theatre grounded in political commentary. This from their website about when I knew and filmed them: "
In the 1970's, The Living Theatre began to create The Legacy of Cain, a cycle of plays for non-traditional venues. From the prisons of Brazil to the gates of the Pittsburgh steel mills, and from the slums of Palermo to the schools of New York City, the company offered these plays... free of charge to the broadest of all possible audiences."
God bless them for their sincere efforts. Julian was a pioneer, and in many ways a legend in his own life time. From all the reading Ive done of his life - he was a man without guile. He was certainly one whom you could say was "living in the moment".
How often, in this age, do we experience "Theater" that will hand you a fist-full of soil while chanting "new beginnings"? Do you see shovel as metaphor... The deal is.....prying open the spaces and boundaries we each maintain. Thus community may form.
