ATTICA and SOLDIER OF FLESH & CARDBOARD (for adult audiences):

For the 40th anniversary of the prison uprising, Bread & Puppet presents ATTICA, which was created 40 years ago in direct response to the massacre, first performed at our Coney Island theater.

The second part of the program, SOLDIER OF FLESH & CARDBOARD, is about PFC Bradley Manning, the soldier who is incarcerated in a brig, accused of war crimes because he brought war crimes to the light of day.

7 pm, Thursday through Sunday

“Part carnival, part protest, all pageant,
Bread and Puppet productions
express political outrage and satire …
Mr. Schumann shows that he remains
urgently invested in the politics of the age.”
[New York Times, review of
Attica and Man of Flesh and Cardboard,
Dec. 12, 2011]
