    The world-famous Bread and Puppet Theater will perform the Everything is Fine Circus. This event is for students, children, and adults and part of Notre Dame’s AnTostal Weekend. The Circus features choreographies of beautiful blue horses, the explosive antics of the dancing bears, Pinky the FEMA elephant, harmonic turkeys, the Rotten Idea Theater's distillation of political issues and much more, all accompanied by the B&P Circus Band. Notre Dame students will be part of the cast. Take note that, if some of the circus acts are politically puzzling to adults, accompanying kids can usually explain them. The show is presented in a way for all to enjoy. The Bread and Puppet Theater is one of the oldest non-profit, self- supporting theatrical companies in the U.S. The 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 latter event regularly attracted audiences in the tens of thousands up to the late 1990’s. Author and NPR commentator Andrei Codrescu has praised “the genius of Peter Schumann [artistic director], the prodigious puppet-God,” writing “the Bread & Puppet Theater has been so long a part of America's conscious struggle for our better selves, that it has become, paradoxically, a fixture of our subconscious.”
