We want you to understand that theater is not yet an established form, not the place of commerce you think it is, where you pay to get something. Theater is different. It is more like bread, more like a necessity. Theater is a form of religion. It preaches sermons and builds a self-sufficient ritual. Puppet theater is the theater of all means. Puppets and masks should be played in the street. They are louder than the traffic. They don’t teach problems, but they scream and dance and display life in its clearest terms. Puppet theater is of action rather than dialogue. The action is reduced to the simplest dance-like and specialized gestures. A puppet may be a hand only, or it may be a complicated body of many heads, hands, rods and fabric.

so I was at bread and puppets the political puppet circus when Biden dropped out and I wish I had video taped it but um. the way I found out that he dropped out was that at the political puppet show, the president puppet came out and did a 'breaking news' skit where they told everyone (we were in the middle of nowhere vermont, no one had cell service) in the audience that Biden was dropping out. and the puppet smacked himself in the head and fell over.
