Outdoor Film – Brother Bread, Sister Puppet

Bring your friends, your blankets and join us for an outdoor film in the center of the campus at the Benton Museum.

The Bread and Puppet Theater has become famous in America over the last thirty years for its street theater and political satire utilizing giant “papier-mâché” puppets, masks and twelve foot high stilt walkers. This documentary profile focuses on their annual Domestic Resurrection Circus, a summer weekend presentation at their northern Vermont home. More than a hundred puppeteers and other performers appear in the afternoon Circus, which features many animal figures, sideshows and comedy routines, and the twilight Pageant, a vast allegorical drama presented on a natural 20-acre stage of meadows, forest and rolling hills. The video features performance highlights and interviews with Bread and Puppet founder/director Peter Schumann, group members and volunteers, who discuss the group’s theatrical concepts and artistic philosophy. We also see rehearsals, the construction of “papier-mâché” figures and masks, and the printing of the Theater’s distinctive woodcut posters.

Directed by Jeff Farber.  1993, 60 minutes.

Outdoor Film – Across the Universe

Across the Universe is a revolutionary rock musical that re-imagines America in the turbulent late-1960’s, a time when battle lines were being drawn at home and abroad.  When young dockworker Jude (Jim Sturgess) leaves Liverpool to find his estranged father in America, he is swept up by the the waves of change that are re-shaping the nation.  Jude falls in love with Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), a rich but sheltered American girl who joins the growing anti-war movement in New York’s Greenwich Village.  As the body count in Vietnam rises, political tensions at home spiral out of control and the star-crossed lovers find themselves in a psychedelic world gone mad.  With a cameo by Bono, Across the Universe is “the kind of movie you watch again, like listening to a favorite album.” (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times).

Directed by Julie Taymor.  2007. 133 minutes.
