In July 1957, Julian Beck and Judith Malina, founders of The Living Theatre, were arrested alongside Dorothy Day while protesting civil defense drills in New York City. Sentenced to thirty days in jail, Beck documented his experiences during his confinement on Hart Island and in The Tombs. This period of reflection prompted him to reevaluate his identity as an artist, ultimately inspiring a lifelong commitment to nonviolent anarchist revolution through his art.
