Bread & Puppet: The Hope Principle Show
Puppet show! Puppet show! Bread & Puppet Theater is excited to announce that we will kick off our 61st year by traversing the Northeast and Eastern Seaboard with a brand-new play created with our director, Peter Schumann, for the exact moment at hand. Of the show–The Hope Principle Show: Citizens’ Shame and Hope in the Time of Genocide–director Peter Schumann says, “With mother dirt prologue, citizen despair gymnastics, massmurder victim’s traditional dance of death celebration, absentee humanity dance. Featuring a flock of disaster ravens and hope principle caribou and exorcism rites for the genociders.”
The company will play cities from Rutland, VT to Washington, DC, with the full tour schedule available at BreadAndPuppet.org/Tour. After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale.

Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking? Collective & Rae Red
"Take off Your Blank"
This show is an assortment of moments punctuated by movement exploring what it means to remove. Through a variety of disciplines and styles, Take Off Your Blank will (re)move you to the core. Clothing being exchanged, anarchistic lives getting older, an overabundance of props interrupting a conversation, and a serious humor/sexiness surrounding dancing guitarists, we are exploring tender human moments in short scenes. The scenes could have dance and could have song and could have blank.
"Future's Future"
“Future’s Future” by Rae Red is a multimedia installation and performance using video projection, scrim and visual poetry to explore the future’s future, the great (queer) unknown. We will enter the portal into a world where we get to encounter the ancestors we will become in a time when it is easier to imagine the apocalypse than the end of late stage capitalism. In the future we are dust.
Doors at 7:30pm, tickets available at the door and online through Eventbrite
Jewish Museum of Maryland & theatre dybbuk present: The Merchant of Venice (Annotated), or In Sooth I Know Not Why I Am So Sad
The Jewish Museum of Maryland presents a theatre dybbuk production written and directed by Artistic Director Aaron Henne at 2640 Space.
What can a play from sixteenth century England tell us about how antisemitism and other prejudicial beliefs operate in our world today? What perceived truths does a play reveal about the society in which it was created, and what ideas within that society does it reinforce?
William Shakespeare likely wrote The Merchant of Venice between 1596 and 1598, only a few years after plague had temporarily closed London's theaters. This was a period of great uncertainty in English society, with ongoing conflicts taking their toll, concerns about the government's stability under an aging leader, and significant economic stresses. The anxieties associated with these societal pressures can perhaps be seen in Merchant in its portrayal of Shylock, the Jewish moneylender.
Bringing together elements of Merchant with Elizabethan history and news from the 21st century, The Merchant of Venice (Annotated), or In Sooth I Know Not Why I Am So Sad takes a kaleidoscopic view of the ways in which members of a society displace their fears on the "other" during times of upheaval.
theatre dybbuk creates provocative new works that blend physical theatre with poetry and music for exciting, utterly singular live events. The company explores the rich world of Jewish history, building lyrical performances that illuminate universal human experience for contemporary audiences. With an in-depth development process that can range from a few months to three years, Artistic Director Aaron Henne builds each piece with a cast of dedicated professional actors, designers, musicians, and scholars.
This event is co-sponsored by Lillian and Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum which is presenting the production’s companion performance piece, The Villainy You Teach, on January 26. You can learn more and register for that event here.
This program is supported in part by a grant from The Covenant Foundation. You can learn about more JMM and other events with theatre dybbuk during their week-long residency in the region here.
Admission is free, but registration is highly encouraged. You can register using the form here.
Kosher refreshments will be served indoors. Masks are recommended, but not required for this event. Complimentary masks will be available at the event.
2640 Space is wheelchair accessible, and street parking is available near 2640 Space.
For any questions related to this event, please contact Noah Mitchel at nmitchel@jewishmuseummd.org or 443.873.5178.
