Seven Meditations on Political Sadomasochism
was a show of street theater which was performed by the company The Living Theater since 1973... It is part of a series of The Living Theater's political street theater performances collectively referred to as The Legacy of Cain.
"The spectators were proposed, in sequence, seven types of actions or statements concerning different topics and which had at the base a relationship identified as a sadomasochistic type:
Sexual love and its dynamics of domination and submission
Government authoritarianism (slave-master relationship)
Private property and its influence on human relationships
The power of money and its ability to dehumanize people
Law enforcement violence and torture
Capitalism as a culture of death
The revolutionary change
"For each of these meditations, after or during a scene, the actors addressed the audience asking the question: 'What can we do?' and therefore trying to start a constructive dialogue with them. Particularly impressive was the torture scene, where the actor had to hang from a bar upside down, naked and with an electrode inserted into the anus. This scene brought The Living Theater various accusations of obscenities, but it was now typical of the group to stage real inventories of horror and repression, in an absolutely realistic way."
