Dachsunds needed for Fierce Festival

December 8, 2011 by Chris Unitt

Dachsund UN

This one’s kinda brilliant. Fierce Festival are looking for 60 dachsunds from around the West Mids to take part in one of the projects featuring in next year’s festival:

Bennett Miller’s ‘Dachshund U.N.’ is a replica of the former United Nations office in Geneva which will hold a meeting of the Commission of Human Rights. Each of the 47 nations will be represented by a dachshund.  The piece is a ‘playful and often chaotic comment on the aspirations of the Commission of Human Rights, and our capacity as humans to imagine and achieve a universal system of justice.’

Watch the video. I’m very much looking forward to this happening.

If you want your dog to get involved then More Canals Than Venice has the contact details.
