Bread and Puppet: Our Domestic Resurrection Circus - RESCHEDULED

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT! THERE WILL BE NO TICKETS AT THE DOOR

Bread and Puppet will be preforming Our Domestic Resurrection Circus at SUSU! All proceeds will be donated to SUSU to support our work of sowing seeds of liberation in Vermont. Jamacian Jewelz Food truck will be providing dinner during the event. Please choose a meal ticket at checkout if you would like to include a meal during the show. 

Please bring with you: A chair, blanket, or something to sit on, water, tick protection/bug spray, walking shoes, comfortable clothing, and anything that will help you feel comfortable during the show. The show will take place in the lower grassy field of our 37 acre farm.

The terrain is mostly flat and grassy with one leg of the walk including a downhill dirt path to the lower field. We will have an ADA accessible porta potty near the farm house, and a designated smoking area near the road.

Our Domestic Resurrection Circus is a spectacle of protest and celebration that addresses the urgent themes of the moment using paper maché, dance, and a live brass band.

Circus is perhaps the most iconic of the many performance genres for which Bread & Puppet is known. A Bread & Puppet Circus is a large-scale political puppet spectacle which borrows from traditional Circus tropes and is performed in-the-round. Made up of a bright, raucous melee of short acts using diverse puppetry styles, it spans many moods, from slapstick to the sublime.

“This year’s circus’ central theme is Homosapiens reform”, says director Peter Schumann. “Insidious Homosapiens, representative of the Accumulated Evil of the Whole, will be arrested, taken to court, & condemned to a rehabilitation facility where he has to take classes in totally new behavior: how to be an earthling instead of an engineer of the humanity machine, how to cry like a bird & speak like a thunderstorm & then graduate with a Dr. degree to cure the species from its life threatening diseases like war, capitalism, fossil fuel addiction, weapons obsession, etc.”

After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its sourdough rye bread with aioli, and “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale.
