This little postcard manifesto came to me by way of Alice and Clarke Thacher (thanks guys!). They picked it up while visiting the Bread & Puppet Museum in Vermont. Their description: “It’s in an old un-rehabbed (except for electricity) barn; unattended and somewhat spooky.” The museum houses artifacts from the 44 year history of the Bread & Puppet’s street theater and political actions.
The name derives from their practice of serving free home-made bread with aioli, because, as founder Peter Schumann explains, “theater and bread create community.”
Poet and NPR commentator Andrei Codrescu, wrote: “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.” (via wikipedia)
