“The Dirt Cheap Money Circus features the distress of money-deprived billionaires, the logic of the US Healthcare System, the philosophy of Forever, presented by a flock of kids, spectacular stilt and dragon dances, interspersed with appearances by Karl Marx, who confronts the 2009 economic situation with his existential thoughts about money and our relationship to it. And much more. As always, this year's circus performs to a live band and excels in giant puppets.”

Bread & Puppet Theater has been enacting its radical utopian vision in cardboard and cloth for over forty years, from the spectacle of its larger-than-life puppets at Vietnam War protests in New York City to the pageantry of its long-running (over 25 years) annual event, Our Domestic Resurrection Circus in Glover, Vermont. The Bread & Puppet Theater is one of the oldest non-profit, self-supporting theatrical companies in the U.S.
