Special Pre-Festival Event May 7-11
In the twisted tradition of Shockheaded Peter, Tim Burton and Edward
Gorey, Seattle International Children's Festival, in partnership with
Seattle Repertory Theatre, presents Aurélia’s Oratorio. A
dazzling display of stage illusion and circus theater spectacle.
Aurélia’s Oratorio is inspired by European circuses and medieval
drawings depicting upside-down and inside-out worlds with altered
states. Nothing is as it seems as the impossible happens. Furniture has
a mind of its own, trains go through people and, at times, the puppets
are in charge.
Creator and performer Aurélia Thierrée has performed
as actress and illusionist since early childhood, initially with her
parents Victoria Thierrée Chaplin and Jean-Baptiste Thierrée, the
pioneers of new circus in the famous Cirque Invisible (Seattle Rep, 1997) and Cirque
Imaginaire, and more recently with Tiger Lillies Circus of Shockheaded
Peter fame.
"Grab the kids -- not too young -- and treat yourself to 70 minutes
of the most fun you'll have in a theater this year." --Post and
Courier, Charleston
“A magical slice of theatrical
trickery"
--Metro
"It is an absolute spellbinder"
--Daily Telegraph
"It is a bewitching 70 minutes in which the
nightmarish and the dreamy meet and disintegrate in a puff of smoke and
the whistle of a train."
--The Guardian
