Dancing Cow Show

A lone cowboy takes the stage with life-sized dancing cows, their synchronized movements evoking the charm of a country fair. But as the performance falls apart, the scene shifts— the cowboy strips to reveal his true identity— a bloodstained butcher. The cows, obedient yet scared, move through a grotesque display of dressage and slaughter.

After killing the cows, the dance continues, but now with cow guts. Even in death, the Cow entrails writhe and seduce, dragging the butcher into a fevered sex delirium.
