Bread and Puppet

 

"The Decapitalization Circus demonstrates in 18 or 19 death-defying stunts the 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 billionairism to despicable homeless anti-social-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-inappropriate sounds for the circus."

Bread & Puppet Theater has been enacting its radical utopian vision in cardboard and cloth for over forty years, from the spectacle of its larger-than-life puppets at Vietnam War protests in New York City to the pageantry of its long-running (over 25 years) annual event, Our Domestic Resurrection Circus in Glover, Vermont. The Bread & Puppet Theater is one of the oldest non-profit, self-supporting theatrical companies in the U.S.
