The Bread & Puppet Circus returns with “The Upside Down World Circus,” a performance that aims to confront societal issues through artistry and protest. Featuring stilt dancers, paper maché creatures, and a brass band, this event serves as both a spectacle and a call to action. After each show, attendees can enjoy Bread & Puppet’s renowned sourdough rye bread with aioli, while “Cheap Art” items from the Bread & Puppet Press will be available for purchase.
Additionally, participants can sign up for a puppetry workshop on Thursday, October 16th, attend a dress rehearsal on Friday afternoon, and join the evening performance. More information and registration can be found at this link.
Founded in 1963 by Peter and Elka Schumann, the Bread & Puppet Theater is a political puppet theater now based in Glover, Vermont. The theater is known for its visually rich performances that combine music, dance, and puppetry, engaging audiences in a unique artistic experience.
