The Apocalypse Defiance Circus attempts to address the heart of the current moment with a bright barrage of acts spanning many moods, from slapstick to the sublime, all powered by a riotous brass band. Help is provided by stilt-dancers, blue horses, paper maché clouds and tigers. Building on the tradition of the Circus as popular spectacle, and somehow encompassing the ecstasy, sadness and absurdity of the world as a whole, Bread & Puppet's circuses have become an iconic form in their own right, 51 years running!

After each show, Bread and Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread and Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread and Puppet Press – will be for sale.

Show Length: Approximately 1 hour
