BREAD AND PUPPET THEATER'S
FIRST WORLD INSURRECTION IN CAMBRIDGE

A POST-ELECTION RUCKUS PLAYED OUT FROM NOVEMBER 4-21

(Cambridge, MA) The Bread and Puppet Theater presents the First World Insurrection, a post-election ruckus played out in Cambridge, November 4-21. Performances and Symposium held at the Cambridge Family YMCA Theatre / Durrell Hall, 820 Massachusetts Avenue, Central Square, and Art Exhibit installed at the Marran Gallery, Lesley University, Main Quad on Mellen St. (off Mass. Ave.), between Harvard and Porter Squares. Both venues are wheelchair accessible. For advance tickets, on sale from October 18th on, and information on all events call the Cambridge Family
YMCA (www.cambymca.org) at 617-661-9622, extension 706.

Artistic Director Peter Schumann and his band of eight Vermont puppeteers will join forces with 20 local puppeteers and the Cambridge-based Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band. Their residency in Cambridge includes three puppet shows (a double-bill geared towards adults and one "family-friendly" show), a "Now What" political art symposium, and an exhibit showcasing Schumann's visual artwork. Each of these opportunities will include the traditional serving of Schumann's famous sourdough rye bread (baked in a temporary outdoor oven in the YMCA parking lot), drizzled with garlic-laden aioli, and the sale of the theater's "cheap art." In November, the city of Cambridge will indeed be the stage upon which much artistic discontent is set - with a few laughs thrown in!

Featuring the Bread and Puppet Theater's signature masked characters and giant papier-mache puppets, the individual shows and art exhibit are described below.

WORLD ON FIRE
A group of National Emergency Clowns demonstrates official reactions to the ultimate emergency. The music is by the Asymmetric Prisoner-of-War Orchestra, consisting of local volunteer performers, and their conductor, the Fire Chief.
HOW TO TURN DISTRESS INTO SUCCESS: A Parable of War and Its Making
With the help of the National More-More-More Society, the Student of Success is taught a lesson: how the transformation of distress into success transforms success. The Population is a child in the arms of Truth. But Truth gets employed by the Executive to ready the Population for war. War is learned in a butcher's shop. The dance of the Collateral Damage Dancers concludes the lesson. The puppets are from cardboard; the music is live and includes an ancient Georgian chant.
UPSIDE DOWN WORLD CIRCUS
The circus features upside-down figures, a group of First World representatives trained by a lion, Thomas Jefferson and his patriotic cheerleaders, Gerrard Winstanley and his band of Diggers, the Rotten Idea Theater Company's distillation of political issues and much more, all accompanied by the B&P Circus Band. Political fun for the whole family!
THE U.S. SENATE READS AN EMAIL BY THE LATE RACHEL CORRIE TO HER PARENTS
Peter Schumann dedicates this installation to Rachel Corrie who died at the age of 23 in Palestine in 2003 as she tried to stop a bulldozer from destroying a Palestinian home. Her email is dated February 27, 2003.

(Background of the theater) The Bread and Puppet Theater was founded in 1963 on New York City's Lower Eastside by 70-year old Silesian-born sculptor and choreographer, Peter Schumann. In 1969 a nine-month tour of Europe won recognition and critical acclaim for Bread and Puppet. In 1970, the Theater moved to Vermont as theater-in-residence at Goddard College, letting itself be influenced by living in the countryside. Four years later the Theater moved to a farm in Glover in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, where a 100-year-old hay barn was transformed into a museum for veteran puppets. Bread and Puppet Theater does massive spectacles in the U.S., Europe and Latin America. Their pageants have a broad theme-oriented appeal to large non-elite audiences. They address social, political and environmental issues or simply the common urgencies of our lives. Some of the awards received by Peter Schumann and Bread and Puppet are the Obie Award, the Erasmus Award from Amsterdam, the Vermont Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts, UNIMA-USA's Citation of Excellence and the Puppeteers of America President's Award. Bread and Puppet is one of the oldest non-profit, self-supporting theater companies in the United States.

"Smash and Grab" Poetry Reading by Bambi Lake

SMASH AND GRAB IS PUTTING IT LIGHTLY

On Friday, November 12, author, poet, songwriter, the provocative Bambi Lake will be making an overdue debut at 7:00 p.m at the Wired Wash Café since her disappearance from literary circles for nearly a decade. She will read from her latest collection of poetry, Smash and Grab, published by Magenta Press of San Francisco.

Smash and Grab is the sequel to Lake’s, The Unsinkable Bambi Lake, which is now out of print and has since become a fixture on the reading list as a “must read” for not only the transgender community, but anyone questioning their sexuality.

It is a collection of poems drawn from an impressionistic memoir of the spoken word poetry venues and parties during the wild nineties in San Francisco. Bambi’s quest has been described by Exene Cervenka, front-woman from the band X that stood out in the early ‘80's Los Angeles punk scene, as “life that has been a protest march in high heels.”

Lake continues to influence and inspire her readers by approaching any and all insecurities to forcefully overcome any fears of true individuality. “It’s good to see that Bambi has put out books about her life because it’s been one of a kind and an inspiration for anyone who wants to stand up for themselves,“ notes famed spoken word artist and musician, Henry Rollins in his introduction to Smash and Grab.

The reading promises to be an inspiration to writers in search of an inner voice that begs to be heard throughout the Santa Cruz community to uphold its progressive history of transgender issues.

TERRY GALLOWAY’S “IN THE HOUSE OF THE MOLES”

The Mickee Faust Club presents…

TERRY GALLOWAY’S “IN THE HOUSE OF THE MOLES”

Why is it that it’s always the ugly, queer, trouble-making thinker who gets it in the end? That’s the essential question posed in Terry Galloway’s original play, “In the House of the Moles”. This tragedy in burlesque opens Thursday, November 4th with additional shows Nov. 5-7 and November 11-14 at the Mickee Faust Clubhouse in Railroad Square. Members of the media are welcome to attend the final dress rehearsal, Wednesday November 3rd. All shows start 8PM.

There will also be an opportunity to be part of the live audience during the videotaping of the show Sunday, November 21 and Monday, November 22.

“I’ve loved working on this production,” says Galloway. “It’s funny and profane. Not profound. Profane!"

Galloway and FSU Communications Professor Donna Marie Nudd have directed this show, and allowed for a give-and-take with the actors to create the final script for this performance. The play has also been read and workshopped at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles and American Place Theater in New York City.

“If I were to describe this play, I’d say its sort-of like “Little Women” with beer, dope and violence,” says Galloway.

The play proper focuses on a family of four sisters and their late mother’s live-in male friend. To honor their mother’s memory, the sisters agree to perform their mom’s life work—her play—one last time. Within this drama comes another morality play creating a play-within-the-play-within-the-play, and a show that both entertains and provokes.

“There’s certainly a “Little Women” gone awry at the start,” says Dr. Nudd, “But there are also elements of vaudeville and “Punch and Judy” in the other parts, and the basic plot elements are lifted from Hamlet, a testament to Terry’s love of Shakespeare and her performance background.”

Tickets are $10 general admission/ $5 seniors and students with ID. Tickets for the shows can be purchased at the door the night of the performances. There are some tickets set aside for reservation each night, so please call 309-5353.

Vigil in support of Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem have lived under an illegal Israeli occupation since 1967, preventing them from establishing their own state on their homeland.

All are welcome - please bring signs.

DECRIMINALIZING RESISTANCE

DECRIMINALIZING RESISTANCE:
Building Community Security, Racial and Economic Justice

A Regional 1 & 1/2 day Encuentro*
In Worcester, Massachusetts
November 12-13th
(Friday 7pm - Saturday 6pm)

From Buenos Aires to Belgrade to New York City and Worcester resistance
movements are being repressed, jailed, and labeled as "security threats."
But what is "security"? What are the real threats to the safety and well
being of our communities? How is "security" used by the State to undermine
resistance movements?

This regional encuentro* hopes to provide a participatory space to discuss
what communities are doing to build autonomy and alternate forms of
security. This will also be an important time for activists and organizers
to network with movements throughout the northeast and build support for
resistance globally.

This call invites you or your organization to attend, in addition, if you
are interested in taking part in planning or sponsoring, please contact us.

Childcare will be provided.
Limited transportation reimbursements available: contact us to apply.
Please REGISTER by November 5th at:

invasion of their community

* An encuentro is a meeting, conference, or "encounter," a safe space where
participants can share ideas and experiences. Following the uprising in
Chiapas, Mexico on the eve of the signing of the North American Free Trade
Agreement, the Zapatistas called for an international encuentro for
compañeras/os from all over the world to gather and discuss the significance
of the grassroots rebellion and possibilities for creating a new and better
world. Our call for an Encuentro on Decriminalizing Resistance lies within
this tradition.
