Bread and Puppet’s Our Domestic Resurrection
Fall Cross-country Tour, September-December 2022
The circus is coming! The circus is coming! The 58-year-old, Vermont-based Bread and Puppet Theater is currently seeking venues across the country to present its iconic puppet circus Fall 2022. Our Domestic Resurrection Circus is a bright, raucous melee of short acts governed by a brass band, addressing the heart of the current moment with diverse puppetry styles and spanning many moods, from slapstick to the sublime.
The show, director Peter Schumann says, is “in response to our totally unresurrected capitalist situation, not only the hundreds of thousands of unnecessarily sacrificed pandemic victims but our culture’s unwillingness to recognize Mother Earth’s revolt against our civilization. Since we earthlings do not live up to our earthling obligations, we need resurrection circuses to yell against our own stupidity.”
After each show, Bread and Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread and Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread and Puppet Press – will be for sale.
Show Length: Approximately 1 hour.
WEATHER
In general, we will perform through a light rain, pause a performance if heavy rain comes, and end a show prematurely if heavy rain persists. If consistent heavy rain is forecasted for the scheduled time of a performance, we may decide to cancel in advance.
