A Belgian dog-training show that blends humor, slapstick, singing, juggling, and flutes. In the full-length version, you’ll learn the five steps to successful training, thanks to unconditional love—and also… Domination! "C’est Gratos" is a fable composed of short poems created by two males, one an Alpha and the other more of a "Beta." The relationships of domination or submission often depicted in shows featuring animals are tackled head-on with subtlety, finesse, great intelligence, and a ton of humor. Mimicry, parody, role reversal... Who dominates whom? Impossible to untangle—and that’s just fine. One thing is certain: when a crested clown and a crested Chinese dog become such close partners, laughter, emotion, and depth are guaranteed. Beware of the animal.

Mimicry, parody, role reversal… Who dominates whom? Impossible to untangle, and that’s a good thing. One thing is certain: when a mohawked clown and a Chinese Crested dog become partners, laughter, emotion, and depth are guaranteed. Working with a real male.
