Reality meets fantasy in this unique live performance-installation that recreates a bucolic country scene in an urban setting. Travel to a strange, poetic and baffling universe that takes you through a carefully studied overview of sheep behaviour. Les moutons has mesmerized audiences all over the world. Each moment is savoured… time stands still…

​

Testimonial from performer and workshop leader Kendra Epik:

​

"Teaching the Les Moutons workshops has been a wonderful reminder of the impact we can have on young people. I didn’t realize just how much these experiences can stay with them and how a playful, imaginative workshop could become a memory they’ll carry well into adulthood. It made me think about the things I still remember distinctly from my own childhood, moments that sparked curiosity or joy and that I continue to look back on fondly.

​

This piece is so unique, and sharing its charm with students feels like giving them an experience that blends silliness, creativity, and performance. As both a performer and a workshop teacher, it’s been incredibly meaningful to see how the work resonates, and to know that something we share for an afternoon might become a memory that stays with them for years.”
