[NEohioPAL] Bread & Puppet Theater

[Steve Presser]

The Bread & Puppet Theater is one of the oldest
non-profit, self-supporting theatrical companies in the U.S.  The
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 latter event regularly
attracted audiences in the tens of thousands up to the late 990’s.
Author and NPR commentator Andrei Codrescu has praised “the genius of Peter Schumann [artistic director], the prodigious puppet-God,” 
writing “the Bread & Puppet Theater has been so long a part of
America's conscious struggle for our better selves, that it has become,
paradoxically, a fixture of our subconscious.”

Bread
and Puppet is coming to the P.E.A.C.E Park in Cleveland Heights'
Coventry Village.  Join us for the September 21st performance at 3pm .
  

The performance will be "The Sourdough Philosophy Circus", a story
about the need for human fermentation.  Human fermentation concerns
those parts of the human body which are not governed by the government,
like the guts and the gutsy parts of the brain. This is also applies to
dancing zebras and turkeys and free range cows. The show is run by a
bunch of cooks, specialists in cooking the various stews and pancakes
of our everyday first world existence.  Additional commentary is
provided by the Rotten Idea Theater Company. Music is provided by the
Sourdough Philosophy Brass Band
