Your Daily WTF: My Pig, It Dances
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
Behold Le Cochon Danseur (The Dancing Pig) from 1907, a short film of someone dressed in a shuddersome pig costume, dancing. He also appears to be enamored with a delightful young woman with whom he shares a sado/masochistic relationship in which he both fawns over her and gropes her and she embarrasses him by stripping him of his clothing and laughing at his loathsome, nude body. After they have finished dancing they leave the stage, which is when something seemingly distasteful happens. Honestly, I cannot even fathom what is going on at the end, but it is unpleasant.

I’m so glad you didn’t spoil the ending because it was marvelous.

Not nearly as unpleasant as you would lead us to believe. I almost didn’t watch it, but I’m glad I took the chance.

The origins of the fur-suiter?

Boy, did you see the technology of that pig-suit! I bet this was a vaudeville performance. It was probably better with funny dialogue and songs. Shows what stage-artists were up to in the last days before movies took over. We are in a similar time today, the dawn of two new art forms, computer games and HBO-style 10-hour-long-movies. What will they evolve into? How will they change the way we are? These are exciting times!
