Peter Schumann's Bread

"Bread" with Peter Schumann - Founder, Director, and Baker of the Bread & Puppet Theater in Glover, Vermont. "The theater is just a vehicle for the bread, it’s not the other way around. There has to a be a method of distributing the bread. If you have free bread it's very suspicious for Americans. They can’t do that, it’s not part of their culture. So in order to do that you have to trick them. This trick is called puppetry." ~Peter Schumann This film dives deep into Peter Schumann's entire process of baking sourdough rye bread to feed the masses at the Bread & Puppet Festival. From grinding the rye grain, to the mixing trough, to baking in wood-fired ovens, to finally feeding the audience and his fellow puppeteers.
