The Greatest Thing Since the Bread is an edible puppetry. Flour is the puppet, air, water, and imagination form its life. The show invites the audience to participate in the process from producing to performing. From a barren desert to a lively world after nourished by rain, forests bloom, animals appear, cities pop up and humans too.The creators pictured their vision for the environment through the flour-made set and puppets. 

 The Greatest Thing Since the Bread focuses on the theme of bread by using baking ingredients and equipment as set, props and even puppets. The show presents the process of baking, also the connection between the environment and the living creatures.  Hopes that one day civilization and primitiveness exist together, and humans and all other species live in harmony.
