The National Passion Play of the Correct Moment - See the minimalist genius of world reknowned artist, puppeteer, and choreographer, Peter Schumman. The Bread and Puppet Circus is truly high art. Though video doesn't really truly capture the magic ao a B & P performance, producer/shooter, James Paul Ludwig gives us a glimpse into the politically charged production of a B & P performance. Taped in Glover, VT, 2005.
I love bread and puppet and want to be a part! When are they coming to NYC?

Part II: And Peter and Elke couldn't have been more amazing! Elke taught me to silk screen! Lovely lovely woman. Peter gave us interns a short inspirational talk by the main house one day, and i will remember those moments for the rest of my life. He said, and i quote from my journal, "We don't come up with a political idea and then build a puppet show around it...Art wants to be art...I recommend now is the time for you to start acting foolish."

As well you should be, "theaterislife"! Lucky, lucky you! I apprenticed a few years ago, and it was one of the most supremely satisfying times of my life! I made a pair of stilts and learned to walk on them, i ground grain, made dinner for 30 people twice a week, made some wonderful short plays and tall puppets, and performed in some amazing pieces. Jump right in and have a ball!
