Bread and Puppet Theater

From the organizer:

This film is a full-length raw realtime dual-camera shoot of the August 28, 2021 Circus and great scale Pageant at the B&P Farm in Glover, Vermont by Robbie Leppzer/Jerome Lipani, edit by JL.

Great Thanks to All who made this possible! Cast and Crew attribution is in the works. Great material waiting to be cut up into usuable chunks, perhaps also!

Along with many other pandemic-era works of this year, in performance and exhibition by Peter Schumann and the Bread and Puppet Theater, it is dedicated to the memory of Elka Schumann.

Walker is a longtime member of the Bread and Puppet community who has been struggling with severe chronic illness for close to 5 years. Walker has myalgic encephalomyelitis also known as ME/CFS, a seriously under researched but not uncommon condition, as well as many other comorbidities. Currently he falls into the most severe category of people with this condition, he is mostly bedbound, requires a wheelchair and assistance with many daily activities. He experiences near constant chronic pain, brain fog, extreme fatigue and many other symptoms on a daily basis. We are currently raising money for many different aspects of his care including: medication, housing, co-pays, assistive technologies, caretaker expenses and much more. Before this illness Walker was an active member of the Bread and Puppet, he has spent countless summers at the farm doing and playing with the band. We are eternally grateful for the support of this community and hope that one day soon Walker will be healed and back at Bread and Puppet."

From the organizer:

" Light cannot only mean the old light. We need new light because of the exhaustion light has suffered from the many misuses we have submitted it to. Light is a quality that needs to be overhauled and adjusted to the specific darkness of a specific time. Extracted from the external source, light has to be invented again and again to fight human darkness."
-- Peter Schumann
