The Dancing Pig
Produced by Pathé Frères
A whimsical early silent comedy built on the absurdist spectacle of an anthropomorphic pig in formal dress performing slapstick flirtation and humiliation for entertainment.
This short burlesque film presents an anthropomorphic pig in elegant dress flirting and dancing with a woman, before being humiliated and compelled to perform for her amusement. The film is a screen adaptation of "Le cochon mondain," a successful Paris music-hall act, likely performed by its creator Odéo using the same custom-designed costume.
