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.
