Bread and Puppet

Was great. They played it up at the Cyclorama for 4
performances of The Terrorists VERSUS The Horrorists,
with a cast of locally-recruited
puppeteers and musicians.

The cardboard people ("this is your neighbour..."),
the silences, the black and the white, all very lyrical
and beautifully strange.

There was a big flat-puppet flying over head for the whole show,
and after he landed on the floor at the end of the show, we went over and checked out his construction. That's the arm, it says "high arm", so that they know how to arrange it when
they get back to base.



& the manifesto makes sense.
