Bread and Puppet Theatre: In & Out Off We Go Riding Through The All! Part 7 02/07/2025

From Jerome Lipani:

"This series is an example of the life of decay." - PSchu

February 7, 2025, Montpelier ArtWalkers witnessed the installation of Peter Schumann's (12th?) papier-mache appliqued mural on the wall of the former Rabble-Rouser building, now housing the collectively-owned Access Cafe'!

The new mural - Our Domestic Resurrection Revolution in Progress - is a replacement for the previous installation, which had been painted over in thick black paint by an unknown party who obviously objected to its pro-Palestinian/Anti-War theme. Images of that mural are integrated into this film.

With Alexis, River and Keir, filmed and edited by Jerome.

Musik: the B&P Band Intro to The Whole Kit and Caboodle Show of June 23, 2024.

Bread and Puppet Theatre: The Beginning After The End Of Humanity Circus & Pageant 07/27/2024

The July 27, 2024 performance of this Summer's Circus and Pageant! This documentation features incredibly spirited band opening music as prelude and sustaining energy of cutting-through political satire and poignant scenes of Palestinian suffering in the ongoing Genocide in Gaza. Somehow, despite the devastation, Bread and Puppet engenders Hope.

Director Peter Schumann describes the show as featuring, “tigers teaching the congress of cowards how to jump over billionaires and acquire the courage to not pay for the atrocities of the latest genocide; the proverbial sheep of the system refusing to be sheep and committing revolution against the system; and the blue horses of the peace and harmony terrorists of the Northeast Kingdom breaking through the wall of threatening clouds that hide the truth from the population and then galloping over the ruins of the truth industry.”

Don't miss the Pageant and the Gaza Emergency Mass Oratorio! It precedes a tour of the Anti-Modern Museum featuring spontaneous improvisatory cantastoria performances of the huge collection of Peter Schumann's Bedsheets by Company Members and Volunteers.
