  • Popis: When Susan Sontag Was Sitting in the Audience In 1971, New York's Town Hall hosted a panel discussion that soon became legendary: Titled "A Dialogue on Women's Liberation," it featured writer Norman Mailer, author Germaine Greer, LGBT activist Jill Johnston, feminist Jacqueline Ceballos, and literary critic Diana Trilling arguing, laughing, and performing. Susan Sontag, Cynthia Ozick, and Betty Friedan, among others, sat in the audience. In short, some of the most prominent members of New York's intellectual elite were gathered that evening. Chris Hegedus and D.A. Pennebaker captured the event in their documentary film "Town Bloody Hall." Fifty years later, German filmmaker RP Kahl creates a reenactment of the evening on a theater stage. In the process, the boundaries of play and seriousness shift - the discussions continue beyond the stage. Through these real-life confrontations, the rehearsals for the reenactment turn into a reflection on gender relations in the age of "Me Too".
