A sample work-in-progress for a feature-length documentary to be released in 2019.

Directed by Robbie Leppzer Documentary | Approx. 20 min

A sample work-in-progress for the first feature-length documentary made in 30 years about the internationally renown Bread and Puppet Theater of Vermont. Founded by directors Peter and Elka Schumann, the troupe is known for their huge paper-maché puppets who perform pieces with themes about contemporary social issues and savvy use of political satire. The film will show the "behind-the-scenes" process of how the Bread and Puppet Theater works and how the performances get developed. The documentary will portray the extraordinary experience of this amazing troupe of mostly young people from diverse areas around the world who come together for a summer in Glover, Vermont to create political art and theater in the unique tradition of what Bread and Puppet is.
