The WHY CHEAP ART? Manifesto – The PoemRoom. Created in 1984 by Peter Schumann of the Bread and Puppet Theater Company, this seminal print document has become a prayer and a rallying cry for all earthbound artists. It is a major influence on The PoemRoom, and the street performances of the NYC Street Players.
Consequently, where was the annual Domestic Resurrection Circus performed?
Considering this, why is it called the Bread and Puppet Theater?
The name Bread & Puppet is derived from the theater’s practice of sharing its own fresh bread, served for free with aïoli, with the audience of each performance to create community, and from its central principle art should be as basic as bread to life.
