Notes regarding time
Performances at 4 pm and 8 pm.Description
The circus is coming! The circus is coming! Bread & Puppet presents The Heart of the Matter Circus, a brand new show in the tradition of the iconic Bread & Puppet Circuses that began at Goddard College in Plainfield, Vermont in 1970. As usual, the show will draw on traditional circus tropes and familiar Bread and Puppet iconography to draw attention to the urgent issues of the day. Stilt dancers, paper maché beasts of all sizes, and a riotous brass band make a raucous, colorful spectacle of protest and celebration.
After both shows are finished, 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.
Show Length: Approximately 1 hour.
$20 suggested donation; no one turned away for lack of funds.
