The circus is coming! The circus is coming! Bread & Puppet Theater makes a
rare cross-country tour this fall 2022. With performances coast to coast,
from New York to Seattle, Los Angeles to New Orleans, the iconic political
puppet theater company brings Our Domestic Resurrection Circus: Apocalypse
Defiance to over 50 cities and towns. Fifty-two years ago Bread & Puppet
Theater performed Our Domestic Resurrection Circus for the first time at
Goddard College in Plainfield, VT. Since then, this capacious and
provocative title has served as the basis of annual spectacles that
generations of audiences have come to rely on for satire and celebration in
the face of intolerable circumstances. This year, B&P will take up the
tradition again, albeit with a timely subtitle: The Apocalypse Defiance
Circus.

The Bread and Puppet Theater is an internationally celebrated company that
champions a visually rich, street-theater brand of performance art filled
with music, dance and slapstick. Believing that theater is a basic
necessity like bread, the company frequently brings its work to the streets
for those who may not otherwise go to the theater. Its shows are political
and spectacular, with puppets often on stilts, wearing huge masks with
expressive faces, singing, dancing and playing music.

After the 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.

Hosted by School for Designing a Society. Co-Sponsored by the
Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center, Cunningham Township Supervisor's
Office, and Unit One at Allen Hall.
