Ladles and Jellyspoons! The one and only Bread & Puppet Circus is back with Anti-Empire Art that acknowledges our beloved Mother Dirt, who makes us and unmakes us, and who presents urgently needed domestic resurrection services for the victims of this latest genocide. We are joined by Palestinian cranes on their way to Washington to replace the excrement in the White House with organic bird droppings, green frogs who teach the art of hopping over seemingly insurmountable problems, and gaggles of kindergarten butterflies who frolic to their hearts’ desire. Join us for a serious and silly circus: Our Domestic Resurrection Revolution In Progress!
FAQ
How long is the show? About an hour.
Is the show ok for kids? While there is nothing inappropriate for children in our shows, we do speak on heavy topics. We generally tell parents that if they would allow their children to read a newspaper, the show will be fine for them.
Will there be bread and aioli? Yes, bread with optional garlic aioli. It’s vegan.
Can I be in the show? At some places we are offering a workshop before the show to work folks into the show, but otherwise, the show is not built for volunteer performers.
Will the show be the same as what I saw in Vermont? Or last year? Or back in the 70’s? While the structure of the show is always the same (flags, many short acts, garbage men and washer women, paper mache animals, a brass band, etc), the show is constantly evolving in response to the moment. Some of the puppets were made this year, some were made decades ago.
You say “No one turned away for lack of funds” but do you mean it? Yes. If you need financial assistance with a ticket, please email breadandpuppetreservations@gmail.com.
