The Bread and Puppet Circus Band has traveled the world for over thirty years, rocking parades, drawing crowds to street shows and providing the musical accompaniment to the theaters circuses, large and small. The public is rarely treated to the other side of the band, the engine that drives dancers to a sweat-soaked rapture. The Bread and Puppet Band is a radically inclusive ensemble with a large core of friends who have played together in some cases for decades. Its size may vary but it always brings an unbridled energy to any performance, playing a repertory that ranges from New Orleans classics to unusual delights gathered during the theater’s journeys.
