every Sunday  11 July - 29 August

at the Bread & Puppet Farm

Show starts at 2:30 pm

rain or shine

The Decapitalization Circus demonstrates in 18 or 19 deathdefying stunts they phantastic effects of the capitalization of life in the U.S. and citizens’ courageous efforts of decapitalization. The performers represent the whole scale of the social spectrum from benign billionarism to despicable homeless anti-soacial-elementarianism. All the acts are FDA and FBI certified displays of patriotic correctness and defy all imaginable forms of terrorism. The Possibilitarians, a multi-instrumental variety ensemble provide the appropriate-innappropriate sounds for the circus.

The Nothing-is-Not-Ready Pageant which directly follows the circus is a greek-tragedy based typical American soap opera featuring several major current events and catastrophies and highlighting the chief actors and motivators of these events, exclusive their virtuous principles, moral assesments and speeches.

Museum Tour at 1 pm.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MAJD

The Story of a Palestinian Youth

The University of Majd is an exhibit of 7 large latex paintings on lightweight fabric and 80 small flower paintings that are meant to surround or separate the panels.University of Majd.

I learned about Majd’s fate from his family whom I met on a recent visit (September 2007) to Ramallah. The text on the panels is from emails which Ed Mast of Seattle, an old friend of Majd’s family, sent home as the case unfolded. I used shroud fabric for the large paintings and discarded window shades and other scrap materials for the flowers to pay my respects to the gigantic garbage problem of Palestine.

Five panels measure approximately 12’ x 7’; one 7’ x 4’; the title panel 10’ x 5.5’.

The exhibit is available on loan for the price of shipping. If you are interested please email Linda Elbow at breadpup@together.net
