General admission

Bread &amp; Puppet presents &ldquo;Jephte&rdquo; , an outdoor performance set to an oratorio composed by Giacomo Carissimi in 1650. &nbsp;&ldquo;Jephte&rdquo; was created by Peter Schumann in 1974, and was performed only twice as part of the last Domestic Resurrection Circus at Cate Farm in Plainfield, Vermont. &nbsp; &nbsp;The show uses puppets, landscape, the stunning baroque music, and the harsh biblical story of Jephte&mdash; the story of a general who sacrifices his daughter for military victory&mdash; as elements. &nbsp;More than a recreation of a 17th century oratorio, the show was a representation of the loss of the American soul in the Vietnam War. After the show Bread &amp; Puppet will serve its sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread &amp; Puppet&rsquo;s &ldquo;Cheap Art&rdquo; &ndash; books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread &amp; Puppet Press &ndash; will be for sale. Tickets are non-refundable.
