Last Sunday (Aug. 1), we took the long, but scenic drive to Glover, Vermont in the Northeast Kingdom to see something I'm certain, we've never seen before. Well, at least Alexa has never seen before! It was a day for a circus, but again, a circus like none other! The Bread and Puppet Theater performed for hundreds in a field on a stunning mid-summer day! The theme...

The Decapitalization Circus demonstrates in 18 or 19 death defying stunts they phantastic effects of the capitalization of life in the U.S. and citizens’ courageous efforts of decapitalization. The performers represent the whole scale of the social spectrum from benign billionarism to despicable homeless anti-social-elementarianism. All the acts are FDA and FBI certified displays of patriotic correctness and defy all imaginable forms of terrorism. The Possibilitarians, a multi-instrumental variety ensemble provide the appropriate-inappropriate sounds for the circus.

The Nothing-is-Not-Ready Pageant which directly follows the circus is a Greek-tragedy based typical American soap opera featuring several major current events and catastrophes and highlighting the chief actors and motivators of these events, exclusive their virtuous principles, moral assessments and speeches.

 Alexa may not have understood the political or social contexts, but I hope she enjoyed the theatrics, the costumes, the music, the beautiful setting and the opportunity to share in something meaningful with others!
