Skirball Center NYU says…

Things literally are not what they seem in Aurélia's Oratorio. Clothes come to life, kites fly girls, and limbs emerge from dresser drawers in unexpected combinations. As a child, Aurélia Thierrée performed with her parents in Le Cirque Imaginaire, a pioneer of the "new circus" genre long before Cirque du Soleil became a Vegas staple. Under the direction, design, and choreography of her mother, Victoria Thierrée Chaplin (yes, the daughter of Charlie Chaplin), Aurélia's joined by dancer Julio Monge in a series of dreamlike vignettes combining acrobatics, puppetry, and illusion. Perfect for those craving a dose of magic in today's world of disarray, the surreal and fantastical Aurélia's Oratorio is purely and simply a delight.
