Toronto performing collective Les Moutons did a routine where performers dressed as sheep and acted like the animals for half-an-hour to a crowd in Shawinigan, QC. .“We do half-an-hour in the life of sheep, without any commentary,” said Les Moutons artistic director and co-founder David Danzon in a Tuesday interview with the Daily Mail. .The performance started off with the sheep being led around the area by a shepherd, who brought them to a pen. These sheep bleat and chew on grass when they arrive at their pen. .The shepherd pretended to sheer the sheep. They acted in pain as their wool pretends to fly off. .Audience members came over to feed the sheep lettuce, which they lapped up. The shepherd proceeded to milk the sheep with a secret mechanism. .This performance ended with a wolf arriving, frightening the sheep and hunting down one of them before the shepherd chased him away. The sheep could be seen trembling after encountering the wolf. .Les Moutons said it does not have a particular ethos, focusing on the performance for artistic purposes. The group added it aims to take the audience through a “surrealistic overview of sheep behaviour.” .Les Moutons has found audiences worldwide with their performances, travelling to countries such as China, Israel, and India. .This performance resembles the ponying trend from 2018. .Ponying was when groups of people dressed up as ponies and competed in show jumping events. .When people dressed up in the gear, they entered the pony space.
