In keeping with their long standing tradition of 'sublime arsekicking puppetry,' the award-winning Vermont-based Bread & Puppet Theater, featuring Artistic Director Peter Schumann and his troupe of puppeteers, returns to the Cyclorama at the BCA, bringing their signature powerful imagery, masked characters, and giant papier-mâché puppets.
Their nine day residency includes the evening show “Captain Boycott” (recommended for ages 12 & up), performances of “The Nothing Is Not Ready Circus” (recommended for everyone), a political art installation conceived by Schumann, along with the sale of Bread & Puppet’s legendary Cheap Art and the opportunity to savor Schumann’s home-made sourdough rye bread spread with garlic-laden aioli.
All the visuals are created by Schumann, including sculpting and painting of all the major masks and puppets, with input from the company.
Although all Bread & Puppet events have a seriousness of purpose — a few laughs are always thrown in!
