Bread & Puppet Theater

"The Decapitalization Circus"

The Decapitalization Circus demonstrates in numerous death-defying stunts the 
phantastic effects of the capitalization of life in the U.S. and citizens' 
courageous efforts of decapitalization. The performers represent the whole 
scale of the social spectrum from benign billionairism to despicable homeless 
anti-social-elementarianism. All the acts are FDA and FBI certified displays 
of patriotic correctness and defy all imaginable forms of terrorism. The 
Possibilitarians, a multi-instrumental variety ensemble, provide the 
appropriate-inappropriate sounds for the circus.

ABOUT BREAD & PUPPET THEATER

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 1990'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."
