Bread + Puppet Spring 2025 Tour: The Obligation to Live

Of our latest show, The Obligation to Live, director Peter Schumann reminds us that, “The obligation to be alive and act against the actors of death is just one of humanity’s many obligations. We also have the obligation to courage and the obligation to plant garlic in the rubble of the empire. Possibilitarians know this and bring giants, dragons, horses, sheep, butterflies, and the exact dance of death required for this exact moment.”

Bread + Puppet: The Possibilitarian Imperative Everything Show & Gray Lady Cantata #9

The word “possibiltarian” is a Marc Estrin translation of Robert Musil’s term “möglichkeitsmensch” from his novel The Man Without Qualities, about the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The term was invigorated by Margaret Thatcher’s remark on capitalism: “there is no alternative,” to which we respond: “there are a thousand alternatives!”

Out of the Vineyard by Psalmayene 24

Joe’s Movement Emporium is producing a new theater performance work by playwright Psalmayene 24, Out of the Vineyard, as part of the Freedom Stories Initiative. Out of the Vineyard is based on the history book A Question of Freedom: The Families who Challenged Slavery from the Nation’s Founding to Civil War by William G. Thomas III, constructed through interviews with descendants of enslaved families and people connected to the history of freedom suits in Prince George’s County. Weaving together monologues that excavate a buried chapter in American history, Out of the Vineyard illuminates how the legacy of slavery still affects us today.
