It's a family drama, says Yaron Lifschitz. It's kind of a minor key, gently comic version of the Oresteian trilogy. Without the dismemberment and murder and purple carpets. Lifschitz is talking about his latest production for Circa, the acclaimed Australian contemporary circus group. Is it a Greek epic? A state-of-the-nation drama? A searing emotional journey? Nope, none of those. It's a fun, family circus show based on that cheeky cartoon character Shaun the Sheep.

Despite the incredible modern tech available for movie making today, traditional stop-motion work remains one of the most engaging animation styles for many viewers.
