Abstract

ABSTRACT: The Bread and Puppet Theatre was founded in New York in the 1960s and is certainly among the most important and long-lasting contributors to modern American theatre history. The troupe's Domestic Resurrection Circus emerged in the context of the countercultural goals of the 1960s and 70s and by the end of the "postmodern" 1990s, attracting audiences of over 30,000 spectators. This study is about Bread and Puppet Theatre's epic circuses and plays and asserts the need and urgency of critical relationship between theatre and utopian thought.
