Ladles and Jellyspoons! The one and only Bread & Puppet Circus returns to Chicago with Anti-Empire Art that acknowledges our beloved Mother Dirt, who makes us and unmakes us, and who presents urgently needed domestic resurrection services for the victims of this latest genocide. We are joined by Palestinian cranes on their way to Washington to replace the excrement in the White House with organic bird droppings, green frogs who teach the art of hopping over seemingly insurmountable problems, and gaggles of kindergarten butterflies who frolic to their hearts’ desire. Join us for a serious and silly circus: Our Domestic Resurrection Revolution In Progress!

After each 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.

Important Notes:

• Location is Clarendon Park. We will update with more information on where exactly we will be staging the performance.
• Doors will open at 7:00pm. The Performance will begin at 7:30pm.
• Space may be limited! Please book your tickets early and be prepared to sit close to others in the lawn .
• Tickets are sliding scale. Please consider purchasing a ticket at a higher rate if you can to offset the cost of bringing Bread & Puppet to Chicago! No one turned away for lack of funds. Please reach out to [email protected] for any questions.

Is the show ok for kids? While there is nothing inappropriate for children in our shows, we do speak on heavy topics. We generally tell parents that if they would allow their children to read a newspaper, the show will be fine for them.

The full tour schedule is available at BreadAndPuppet.org/Tour. The company relies on donations to do the show, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. If you need financial assistance with a ticket, please email [email protected].

The Chicago stop of the Bread & Puppet Tour is sponsored by Haymarket Books and Pilsen Community Books.
