Those lovable eco-warriors in the Mysterious Rabbit Puppet Army , whose work we’ve shared here, are embarking on a month-long road show to present their newest puppet production, “Donny Quixote!” The show is a scathing critique of “green” capitalism and “green” technology told through a humorous adaptation of the story of Don Quixote. MRPA will present two other fun performances and travels with a distro of materials related to the content of the shows. This tour is to help build a culture of ecological resistance that embraces a diversity of tactics including direct action. The shows are designed to help audiences see through the false solutions capitalism proposes to ecological crises.
The tour is being co-sponsored by the Earth First Journal, the voice of the radical environmental movement.
