Synopsis
The Cry of the People for Meat, is a thought-provoking play that combines experimental theater with social and political commentary. Performed in 1969 in both New York and Europe, the play is known for its innovative use of masks, costumes, and music, all created by Schumann and his team. Its performances, often held to support military base coffeehouses and G.I. newspapers, highlight the play’s strong engagement with social and political issues.
