CORPUS at Long Island Children's Museum Theater

They look like sheep, and sound like sheep, and even get sheared—but they’re actually performers from Canada’s CORPUS dance/theater. CORPUS brings its international reputation and signature piece, “Les moutons,” to the US during its first tour.

Audiences will observe a strange and hilarious universe as CORPUS enacts the results of their carefully studied overview of sheep behavior. Three white ewes (Julie, Marie-louise, Bernadette) and one black ram (César) comprise the “wooly” cast under the watchful eye of a stoic shepherd. During the performance, audience members will observe such routine activities as shearing, feeding, milking and more. The piece is interactive and audience members are allowed to pet and feed the “sheep.”
