Bread and Puppet Theater presents: Inflammatory Earthling Rants (with help from Kropotkin)
Wednesday, April 5th- Doors Open 6:40 PM, show at 7 PM
Tickets sold at the door, $10-25 suggested donation, no one turned away for lack of funds
Bread & Puppet Theater celebrates its 60th year with a tour to cities and towns across the US Northeast, presenting the company’s latest show: Inflamatory Earthling Rant (with help from Kropotkin).
Show Description: Earthlings are now aflame and consequently need inflammatory rants, directed against the arsonist: Western Civilization and its incompetent government. The habitual pragmatic communication jargon won’t do, so the ranters have to resort to the original language which was tasked to employ the spells, charms, and incantations needed to confront the disaster in order to instigate change – with help from Kropotkin’s Mutual Aid ideology.
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.
The Bread and Puppet Theater is an internationally celebrated company that champions a visually rich, street-theater brand of performance art filled with music, dance and slapstick. Believing that theater is a basic necessity like bread, the company frequently brings its work to the streets for those who may not otherwise go to the theater. Its shows are political and spectacular, with puppets often on stilts, wearing huge masks with expressive faces, singing, dancing and playing music.
Bread and Puppet is recognized throughout the world and has won distinction at international theater festivals in Italy, Poland, Colombia, and Yugoslavia, beginning with their break-out performances at the 1968 Nancy Festival in France. Notable awards include the Erasmus Prize of Amsterdam, 4 Obies, the Puppeteers of America’s President Award, and the Vermont Governor’s Award. Bread and Puppet is constantly active, performing at its farm in Glover, VT, and in local churches, schools and parades. It regularly tours Europe, Canada, and the United States and has recently visited El Salvador, Haiti, Russia, and Korea.
Founded in 1963 by Peter Schumann on New York City’s Lower East Side, the theater has been based in the North East Kingdom of Vermont since the early 1970s and is one of the oldest, nonprofit, self-supporting theatrical companies in the country.

Join us for Gallery Night with our new exhibition Muhamed Kafedzic – Muha 無派 | Hanami 花見 (Flower Viewing)
On view April 7-May 26, 2023.
Hanami is a Japanese tradition of flower (blossom) viewing during springtime. In this case, it is an invitation to view a selection of Muha´s works from 2009-2022 showing the artist´s views of Ukiyo-e, reinterpretations of art masterpieces, and experiments with traditional painting and new media. The exhibition will be accompanied by guest works of local artists Leslie Ihde, Domenica Brockman, Charlotte Ghiorse, and Lindsey Glover.
Muha (b. 1977) is a Bosnian artist temporarily living in Ithaca. His artistic identity is based on the Japanese Ukiyo-e and American Pop Art traditions, interwoven and interpreted in a hybrid and global key. By refusing traditional, local artistic styles and themes, he aims to challenge stereotyped ethnic and national images of an artist from post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to create an identity that opens transnational and pop cultural connections. He has exhibited and held workshops on street art and comics in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, Germany, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Belgium, and Japan. Learn more at https://muhaonline.com/

In this workshop, you’ll discover how, through reconnecting with our body, we can experience new and profound ways of connecting to music and music performance.

Ithaca’s premier experimental music event Naked Noise returns, with our annual large ensemble of improvised ritual drone – our first since 2019!
This April the third floor of Ithaca’s Community School of Music and Arts (CSMA) will be transformed into Ithaca’s premiere experimental audio-visual event. A selection of Ithaca’s most talented and innovative musicians will encircle the room with percussionists in the center, while a visual installation will envelop the space in a transcendental array of light, projection, and reflection.
The ensemble will perform two 45 minute sets of improvised drone and noise. Participants are encouraged to explore the ring around the space for a unique auditory experience with every step. This is an event of epic proportions and is not to be missed!
Naked Noise #11 musicians, visual artists, and installations TBA soon.
Sponsored by Collin Anderson Memorial Fund and Angry Mom Records. If you are interested in sponsoring Naked Noise, email board@ithacaunderground.org

Cai Quirk
Transcendence: Queer Restoryation
On view: February 3, 2023 – March 31, 2023
Enter a world where distinctions of gender, time, and place become fluid and flexible, and new queer stories connect to ancient patterns. Cai Quirk’s Transcendence: Queer Restoryation inspires viewers to take a nuanced look into intersections of gender, spirituality, mythology, and nature.
Transcendence explores many paths beyond supposed binaries: male and female, night and day, land and sea, earth and sky, life and death, self and other, self and earth. In the spirit of myths, this series transcends boundaries and identities to reach a deeply human experience of connection.
In a society that tries to erase the presence of queer, transgender, and non-binary folks, it is vital that we share our stories, whether these are the everyday realities of our lives, or mythic tales of realities deeper than ordinary truths. Binary ways of seeing the world will not simply disappear — we must actively replace them with ways of seeing and honoring fluidity as natural and necessary. Through the powerful act of queer restoryation, Transcendence invites viewers on a journey of empowerment, inspiration, and healing.
Please join us for Gallery Night from 5-8 PM, including an artist talk with Cai Quirk at 6:30 PM.

Join us in a return to what is certainly our sweetest dance of the year. Join HFDI and the Contradictions for an evening of contras and couple dances, and bring a dessert to share! Beloved Ithaca-based band The Contradictions offers an eclectic mix of blissfully danceable fiddle tunes from American and European traditions. Their repertoire ranges from lively Irish jigs, New England double fiddling, and French Canadian reels to enchanting Venezuelan waltzes, slick bluegrass fiddle breaks, and 1930s hot swing standards, all designed to get your feet moving. The band features Rick Manning on fiddle and mandolin, Dave Davies on guitar and brass, Tom Hodgson on guitar, and special guest George Wilson on fiddle. The calling will be done by a group of wonderful Ithaca callers: Nancy Spero, Pamela Goddard, Katy Heine, Vikki Armstrong and Casey Carr.

Transcendence: Queer Restoryation
On view: February 3, 2023 – March 31, 2023
Enter a world where distinctions of gender, time, and place become fluid and flexible, and new queer stories connect to ancient patterns. Cai Quirk’s Transcendence: Queer Restoryation inspires viewers to take a nuanced look into intersections of gender, spirituality, mythology, and nature.
Transcendence explores many paths beyond supposed binaries: male and female, night and day, land and sea, earth and sky, life and death, self and other, self and earth. In the spirit of myths, this series transcends boundaries and identities to reach a deeply human experience of connection.
In a society that tries to erase the presence of queer, transgender, and non-binary folks, it is vital that we share our stories, whether these are the everyday realities of our lives, or mythic tales of realities deeper than ordinary truths. Binary ways of seeing the world will not simply disappear — we must actively replace them with ways of seeing and honoring fluidity as natural and necessary. Through the powerful act of queer restoryation, Transcendence invites viewers on a journey of empowerment, inspiration, and healing.
Please join us for Gallery Night from 5-8 PM, including a performance art piece, based on the photo show, with Cai Quirk at 6:30 PM.

Event Details
The Ithaca Catholic Worker is delighted to present a benefit concert w/ Irish singer Karan Casey. Thursday, March 9, 2023, at 7:00PM at Community School of Music & Arts. Karan has not been back in several years and we are really excited that she has made room in her busy touring schedule to come back to Ithaca.
Tickets are $25-35 (sliding scale) (Email demottgrady6@gmail.com for family rates)
Tickets available at Mama Said Hand Pies in Press Bay Alley or through Ticketleap icw.ticketleap.com/karan-casey-concert/
Karan will be touring with Sheila Fallson on fiddle and guitarist Matt Heaton. The evocative trio have toured together for several years and this show premieres new material from Karan’s new album“Nine Apples of Gold”(to be released 22nd February 2023) as well as favorites from Karan’s back repertoire. The songs draw inspiration from a wide range of sources from the personal to the historical and political, touching on themes of family, loss, love, the empowerment of women, and Irish revolutionary struggle
Karan Casey has been blazing a trail for over 25 years. A lover of ballads, love songs and searing versions of social justice songs, a great storyteller, fond of a good yarn, she has toured the world making deep connections with her audience connecting via Ireland’s past but crucially repositioning women and songs in a universal and a modern setting. Karan has been striking out lately to explore new areas of performance on the piano and with spoken word and theatre.
She has released eleven albums as well as contributing to numerous other artists’ projects – appearing on more than 50 albums so far – and has toured extensively throughout North America, Europe and Japan, performing with her own band as well as collaborating with such diverse musicians as Maura O’Connell, James Taylor, Bela Fleck, Boston Pops Orchestra, Kate Ellis, Niall Vallely, Pauline Scanlon, The Chieftains, The Dubliners, Peggy Seeger, Karen Matheson, Mick Flannery, Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, Tim O’Brien and Solas.
In 2018 Karan helped found FairPlé which is an organization aimed at achieving fairness and gender balance for female performers in Irish traditional and folk music.
Karan’s song “Down in the Glen” from her album Hieroglyphs That Tell the Tale was nominated for Best Original Folk Song at the RTE Folk Awards 2019 and she completed a Ph.D. in music in 2019. Karan has recently performed her new show with Director Sophie Motley called I Walked into My Head which premiered at the Kilkenny Arts Festival 2021.
Karan is currently working on a stage show about women in the Irish revolutionary period to be produced at the Everyman Theatre in Cork in 2023.
About the Ithaca Catholic Worker
Through your generosity, you are part of welcoming and befriending marginalized people, advancing racial and economic justice, and speaking up for peace. Over the years, our Catholic Worker community has distributed thousands of dollars to people in need. These gifts have no strings attached, no applications to fill out, it’s just neighbors showing solidarity to neighbors. For example, we recently provided back rent for a mother and her children who were facing eviction. Thank you for making this possible.
Your donation will also support the work of hospitality at the Peter De Mott Catholic Worker House. In the past year, we are privileged to have received guests at the house, including an asylum seeker from Latin America, a domestic abuse survivor from Iraq, and a young couple (and their dog!) facing homelessness.
The Catholic Worker community also orchestrates a food-sharing hub in the backyard, providing hundreds of pounds of fresh produce and prepared food to the neighborhood and beyond. Your generosity helps to maintain this solidarity with people in need.
And your gift will help to reinforce the work of peace-making and resistance. We continue the Catholic Worker weekly peace vigil and other public witnesses against nuclear weapons, drone warfare, and environmental destruction. We work intentionally to be loving and effective allies to the first people of this area, the Gayogo̱ hónǫʼ (Cayuga). In all of these efforts, we strive to build up what our dear friend Peter DeMott referred to as the “kin-dom of God.”
Thank you for considering a contribution to strengthen this mission of peace and justice to which Peter so tirelessly dedicated his life, and to build a society, as Dorothy Day said, “where it is easier for people to be good.”
Peace be with you!
