Bread and Puppet Theater: How to Turn Distress into Success

HOW TO TURN DISTRESS INTO SUCCESS, A Parable of War and It's Making.
With the help of the National More-More-More Society.


"The Student of Success" is taught a lesson: how the transformation of distress into success transforms success. The "Population" is a child in the arms of "Truth". But "Truth" gets employed by the "Executive" to ready the "Population" for war. War is learned in a butcher's shop. The dance of the Collateral Damage Dancers concludes the lesson.
The puppets are from cardboard; the music is live and includes an ancient Georgian chant. Six puppeteers perform.
The INSURRECTION MASS WITH FUNERAL MARCH FOR A ROTTEN IDEA is a nonreligious service in the presence of several paper mache gods. The rotten idea which gets explained and buried is usually derived from some recent political-economical event or idea which deserves burial. The MASS comes complete with secular scripture readings, a fiddle sermon and hymns in which the public is invited to participate.
