BREAD + PUPPET
The following week Bread & Puppet will present The Apocalypse Defiance Circus, a rollicking spectacle of protest and celebration. The 60-minute show addresses the heart of the current moment with a bright barrage of acts spanning many moods, from slapstick to the sublime, all powered by a riotous brass band. Help is provided by stilt-dancers, blue horses, paper maché clouds and tigers. Building on the tradition of the Circus as spectacle for the people, performed in the round, and somehow encompassing the ecstasy, sadness and absurdity of the world as a whole, Bread & Puppet’s circuses have become an iconic form in their own right, 51 years running!
Running Time: 1 hour
December 14 - 18
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday at 3:00 and 8:00 PM, Sunday at 3:00 PM
After each show, Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale.

The Very Last Dance of Homeless Joe
There are no homeless people. Only people who happen to be homeless. A young woman named Charlie decides to write a story about people who are homeless. Charlie meets a variety of folks who make her cry, laugh, and open her mind and heart. The message of the play is simple yet profound. All we have in this crazy life is each other and each other is all we really need.
Running Time: 90 minutes

No Shadow Without SUN
NO Shadow without Sun is a play inspired from a real story – in 1934 two sisters employed as maids killed their Mistress after 7 years of service.
The creation combines a collection of poems written by Julian Eggerickx and a play script based on the murderous events co-written by Saule Moun.
