The Living Theatre is an American theatre company founded in 1947 and based in New York City.
It is the oldest experimental theatre group in the United States.
For most of its history it was led by its founders, actress
Judith Malina and painter/poet.
Most likely this is Paradise Now. Paradise Now, a semi-improvisational piece involving audience participation,
was notorious for a scene in which actors recited a list of social taboos that included nudity, while disrobing; this led to multiple arrests for indecent exposure.
The group returned to the U.S. in 1968 to tour Paradise Now,
Antigone, Mysteries and Smaller Pieces, and Frankenstein.
