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]

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.

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
