Based, as my companion put it, on “the humor of recognition,” this performance piece claims to be “the longest running solo play in Broadway history,” and has been translated into 16 languages and performed around the world by a variety of comics.

BOSTON/South End - Peter Schumann wants to ferment your brain. He’ll provide the vat filled with sourdough bread, garlic, and the crucial ingredients for political transmogrification, including subversion, corruption, and lots of symbolism. When he’s done with your grey matter, he says he’ll give it back.

Actually, Schumann, founder and impresario of the Bread and Puppet Theater, hopes you’ll attend the Sourdough Philosophy Spectacle and Circus, with performances through Sunday, February first at the Boston Center for the Arts Cyclorama in the South End.
