A dramatic choral liturgy unbound.

In seeking the essence of this liturgy, Dzieci refined the text from the earliest translations, relying heavily on the Aramaic Peshitta, integrated Hebraic song and chant, and ritual elements of Judaism, and set their revision in the shadow of the Warsaw Ghetto. Whether Christian or Jew or Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or Zen, A Passion appeals to the human spirit in everyone and our essential desire for communion. Please join us.

Our Online Meditation & Prayer practice is open to anyone who would like to join by computer or phone.

Maundy Thursday service infos coming soon!

Puppet show! Puppet show! Bread & Puppet Theater is excited to announce our spring tour, traveling from Vermont down the Eastern Seaboard. Of our latest show, The Obligation to Live, director Peter Schumann reminds us that, “The obligation to be alive and act against the actors of death is just one of humanity’s many obligations. We also have the obligation to courage and the obligation to plant garlic in the rubble of the empire. Possibilitarians know this and bring giants, dragons, horses, sheep, butterflies, and the exact dance of death required for this exact moment.”

After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale.

Pathemata, Or, The Story of My Mouth, is an experiment in interiority written in the pandemic studio.

Something of a companion piece to 2009’s Bluets, Pathemata merges a pain diary chronicling a decade of jaw pain with dreams and dailies, eventually blurring the lines between embodied, unconscious, and everyday life. In scrupulously distilled prose, Pathemata offers a tragicomic portrait of a particularly unnerving and isolating moment in recent history, as well as an abiding account of how it feels to inhabit a mortal body in struggle to connect with others.
