Abstract:

Digitized video copies of La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club theatrical productions, recorded between 1970 and 1980. Approximately 170 theatrical productions were captured, preserving a unique historical record of the artists, theatrical companies, productions, communities, and ideas which had a lasting influence on the performing arts landscape. The works reveal this history through multiple lenses, including Native American mythology, communities of color, immigrant cultures, debates about American identity, poetic traditions, gay and lesbian life, United States popular culture, racial conflict, and the Vietnam War.
