Project by the twin city of Brno, JAMU Janáček Academy of Performing Arts, Brno

The performance Counting sheep, exploring the archetypal roles of sheep and wolf, took a critical view of the world and asked what has changed since the Peaceful Revolution. What has remained the same? What is missing? Is it the desire to belong, the striving for security, or is it uncertainty, manipulation and power? All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. We are not sheep!? Counting sheep was a live performance with projection and sound that used various theatrical means to create a constantly changing image. Live video mapping onto performers wearing masks and costumes complemented the project, as did interaction with visitors to the Leipzig Festival of Lights.

Brno has been Leipzig’s twin city since 1973.
