I love the work of Bread & Puppet Theatre. In the late 1980s and early ’90s, my husband and I visited Vermont where we went to see the Bread & Puppet farm with their barn full of enormous puppets and printed posters and cards. It was terrific to see such creativity addressing political, social issues such as war, poverty, climate change….Their political theatre continues today amidst the turmoil the U. S. is in.
I received a vibrant email from them the other day, highlighting some of their latest theatre work called Oh You Beast Descendants. I love the print on their site and the words describing the pageant that speak to me of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians:
Oh You Beast Descendants
We human beasts, descendants of revenge and elimination gods, and of the gods of love who preach by killing love, how can we survive while our very own evil empire promotes incinerations and starvation warfare and supreme inhumanity is performed in front of our eyes? We, the numerous people here on the face of the earth, we occupants of not knowing where else to be, living in the jungle of beastly minutes, need Mother Dirt to rebirth our joy muscles, strip us of our horror inhumanity, and make water and bread of life obligatory.
Last year I sent away for some Bread and Puppet postcards and books with the work of Peter Schuman on them. These help sustain me emotionally.

Beautiful postcard 💐 well shared
