Our friends Bread & Puppet Theater bring their “Our Domestic Resurrection Revolution in Progress Circus” to Cambridge Common on Saturday, Sept. 13, 2025, at 4 p.m. in partnership with Cambridge Arts<\/a> (where I work). Admission is free–donations encouraged. The performance is part of the Vermont company\u2019s fall tour<\/a> across New England, to Brooklyn, then west to Chicago and New Orleans and San Antonio. (See other Northeast dates below.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-founder and director Peter Schumann says the circus offers \u201cAnti-Empire Art that acknowledges our beloved Mother Dirt, who makes us and unmakes us, and who presents urgently needed domestic resurrection services for the victims of this latest genocide. We are joined by Palestinian cranes on their way to Washington to replace the excrement in the White House with organic bird droppings, green frogs who teach the art of hopping over seemingly insurmountable problems, and gaggles of kindergarten butterflies who frolic to their hearts\u2019 desire.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This circus is 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 draws on traditional circus tropes and familiar Bread & Puppet iconography to bring attention to the urgent issues of the day. Stilt dancers, papier-mach\u00e9 beasts of all sizes and a riotous brass band make a raucous, colorful spectacle of protest and celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread & Puppet\u2019s \u201cCheap Art\u201d \u2013 books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press \u2013 will be for sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
