ABOUT FIRE:
        "Humans wage war against each other and their own mother: Nature.  Essentially war is the ferocious stupidity that insists on the application of brutality for problem solution, whether the brutality is directed at humans or mountaintops.  "FIRE" is a chapel against war, where you sit down to witness the effects of war while contemplating its opposite." --Peter Schumann

In 1965, Schumann and his troupe presented FIRE, a hard-hitting piece about the Vietnam War, to critical acclaim at the Nancy Theater Festival in France.

FIRE shows six days in a Vietnamese community, followed by a bombing raid and ending with a self-immolation. Dedicated to three Americans who immolated themselves in protest against the Vietnam War, FIRE is performed with life-size puppets that resemble their masked manipulators. May not be appropriate for young children.

ABOUT BREAD & PUPPET:
Since 1974, Bread and Puppet has spun its magic from a farm in Glover, Vermont, with hundreds of apprentices guided by a philosophy of living and working within available means, making "cheap art" that is easily accessible to the people. This frugal ethos permeates Bread and Puppet's aesthetic, inextricable from the paper-mache, burlap, twine and cardboard that literally hold the puppets and shows together.
