After 2 weeks in Johnson, several of us decided to "get off the reservation." Bread and Puppets was the answer to break the daily grind of blissfully working away in the studio. We arrived right at 8 ( after a harrowing drive through the rainy, foggy mountains, chock full of moose crossing signs). We went straight into the theater/ barn for the performance. It was a political performance with lots of props, music, and jumping- but very little dialogue. The performance space was decorated (almost like a medieval cathedral) with paper mache and woodburning. It was a cross between Italian frescoes and outsider art.
After the performance concluded and we had our bread and vegan aioli spread, we checked out the museum. The museum houses all of the puppets and props from past shows. It was a truly amazing sight- nonsensical and absurd at times..... Here are some of my favorite exhibits...
