TEAR OPEN THE DOOR OF HEAVEN and DIRT CHEAP MONEY CIRCUS
Boston Center for the Arts CYCLORAMA
January 25 through January 31
presented in partnership with the Boston Center for the Arts
as part of the Cyclorama Residency Series
The award-winning Bread and Puppet Theater, featuring Artistic Director Peter Schumann and his troupe of Vermont puppeteers, returns for a fourth year to the BCA’s Cyclorama bringing their signature powerful imagery, masked characters, and giant papier-mâché puppets. Their residency includes two different puppet shows, Tear Open The Door Of Heaven (January 28-31, evening shows primarily for ages 12 & older), the Dirt Cheap Money Circus (January 30-31, family-friendly matinees), along with a week-long political art installation (running January 26-31, with an art opening on January 25).
Bread and Puppet Theater is an internationally recognized company that champions a visually rich, street-theater brand of performance art that is filled with music, dance and slapstick. Its shows are political and spectacular, with huge puppets made of paper maché and cardboard, a brass band for accompaniment, and anti-elitist dance. Most are morality plays — about how people act toward each other — whose prototype is "Everyman". There are puppets of all kinds and sizes, masks, sculptural costumes, paintings, buildings and landscapes that seemingly breathe with Schumann's distinctive visual style of dance, expressionism, dark humor and low-culture simplicity.
   
Although all Bread and Puppet events have a seriousness of purpose — a few laughs are always thrown in!
