A bizarre spectacle greeted the folk of Shawinigan, Québec over the weekend.
A shepherd could be seen leading a flock of creatures with farmyard bells swinging from their neck, filling the air with the sound of baaaaa and chewing on greens when they arrived at their pen.
But it wasn't a flock of sheep that had come grazing around the streets of Québec, but a Toronto-based group performing an immersive art project called 'Les Moutons'.
In the performance, actors dressed as sheep are led around the city by their shepherd, who takes them to a pen before 'shearing' them.
There, he might feed the 'sheep' lettuce which they eagerly chew on, lapping up the greens from the hands of audience members.
He also 'milks' the sheep — via a mechanism which remains a secret to the audience.
We do half-an-hour in the life of sheep, without any commentary' said the company's artistic director and co-founder, David Danzon, who formed the dance group Corpus in 1997 with artistic partner Sylvie Bouchard.
'Les Moutons' doesn't boast any particular ethos on its website, solely focusing on the performance for artistic purposes.
The group says its aim is to take the audience through a 'surrealistic overview of sheep behaviour.'

Perfection in a dozen words. I salute you.

Good one!

Place was empty. We had $25 tickets and they handed us $125.00 seats for free. There weren’t enough people to full them.
Seems like he’s not we’ll liked.
Man: Excuse me but that are sheep aren’t they?
Another man: Aye
Man: only, why are the up in the trees?
Another man: A fair question it is and on that has recently crossed my mind. It is my considered opinion that they are nesting ...
