Sometimes I think I’ve reached the end of the internet, you know, that I’ve simply “seen it all.” Then a video of a humans dressed as sheep — hunchbacked and bleating, no less — pops up and I know there’s plenty in this world left to surprise me.
This absolutely splendid “human-sheep shepherding” was performed by Toronto’s Les Moutons, which is a special troupe within the CORPUS dance project.
Its description is as follows:
Reality meets fantasy in this wordless live installation that recreates a bucolic country scene in a typical urban setting. Travel to a strange & hilarious universe as CORPUS takes you through a carefully studied, surrealistic overview of sheep behaviour. Meet Julie, Marie-louise, Bernadette and César, 3 healthy ewes and a young ram. Routine activities include: shearing, feeding, milking and many more… This truly innovative performance twists reality in surprising ways and takes audience interaction to new heights!
