Bread & Puppet Theater’s Domestic Resurrection Circus
Vermont-based Bread and Puppet Theater will present its iconic, politically radical puppet circus at Springville Heritage Park on Friday, September 16th.
With roots in the Vietnam anti-war protests, the internationally celebrated theater has been based in Vermont since the early 1970s, and is one of the oldest, nonprofit, political theatre companies in the country.
Bread and Puppet Theater will present their Domestic Resurrection Circus: 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. Their visually rich shows are political and very spectacular, with puppets often on stilts, wearing huge masks with expressive faces, singing, dancing and playing music.
This is is a bring-your-own-chair, outdoor type of event. There is a suggested donation of between $10-$20, but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. After each show, Bread and Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli.
