In Peter Schumann’s words:”We human beasts, descendants of revenge and elimination gods, and of the gods of love who preach by killing love, how can we survive while our very own evil empire promotes incinerations and starvation warfare and supreme inhumanity is performed in front of our eyes? We, the numerous people here on the face of the earth, we occupants of not knowing where else to be, living in the jungle of beastly minutes, need Mother Dirt to rebirth our joy muscles, strip us of our horror inhumanity, and make water and bread of life obligatory.”
Every Friday at 7pm July through August
Tickets: $15, no one turned away for lack of funds.

CHIMERA Co-lab: Work-in-Progress Showing & Artist Discussion
2025-07-19 15:00 - 17:00 | Farmsprung Gatherings, 2692 East Warren Road, Waitsfield, VT, 05673, United States
Choreographers and a composer are collaborating on some brand new work together this summer, and you’re invited to come see what we’ve been working on!
The annual CHIMERA Art Co-Lab launched the summer of 2022 as the inaugural artistic residency in the newly-restored Stowell Barn (c.1798). Surrounded by the beautiful dual-tone timber frame that joins old and new lumber, choreographers came together to experiment with their craft and collaborate on new work together. The CHIMERA Art Co-Lab was established as an embodiment of hybridization–from the creative venue, to the artistic process and product. At the time of its inception, returning to in-person creation and performance seemed an unrealizable dream; the CHIMERA Art Co-Lab continues annually as a way to celebrate bringing together artistic bodies and minds in a creative space.
The 4th annual Co-lab culminates in an informal ‘work-in-progress’ showing and artist discussion at Stowell Barn with artists in residence:
Reject Dance Theatre and Augmentation Movement Project
in collaboration with
Murdock Solo Modular Synthesis
This event is FREE and open to the public! Please RSVP on the event website to reserve your seats.

Sundays, July 13-August 31 at 3pm
The company presents Our Domestic Revolution in Progress, a brand new show in the tradition of the iconic Bread & Puppet Circuses that began at Goddard College in Plainfield, Vermont in 1970. As usual, the show will draw on traditional circus tropes and familiar Bread and Puppet iconography to draw attention to the urgent issues of the day. Stilt dancers, paper maché beasts of all sizes and a riotous brass band make a raucous, colorful spectacle of protest and celebration.
After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale prior and after the show.
Tickets: $15, no one turned away for lack of funds.

Dogs are discouraged, though well behaved dogs on leash are allowed. If you bring your dog, PLEASE SIT IN THE BACK of the audience, at the top of the amphitheater, as far away as possible from the brass band and bring plenty of water (there is none onsite).
