" 'Cheap art' is said to be a core principle of Bread and Puppet and is reflected both in its ethics and in its aesthetics. Ethically, the theater is described as anti capitalist and generally is regarded as having a 'hippie' viewpoint. Aesthetically, the theater is often described as 'slapdash' or 'unsightly,' as well as modest and 'distinctively homemade.' " Wikipedia.
