Magnificent visual effects, dancing and art make “Aurélia's Oratorio” a must-see. Aurélia Thierrée of the famous French Circus family (she's Charlie Chaplin's Granddaughter, if you need a pedigree) creates a dream-world with acrobatics, puppets, paper cut-outs, dance, burlesque and vaudeville. Though you can usually surmise how the images are achieved, they are so whimsical and exquisitely done that you'll forget to care about the "trick" and lose yourself in the "magic." Amazing!Written on Feb 08 2010

I really enjoyed the illusions/acrobats, never saw anything like it in a play format, very different. Kept you guessing as we as wanting more. Would have liked it to last longer and 70 minutes (without intermisson) but enjoyed it none the less.Written on Feb 08 2010

Description
Behind the red velvet curtain lies Aurélia’s Oratorio’s topsy-turvy world of surreal surprises, tricks, and transformations, where dreams come to life and the impossible happens before your very eyes. Aurélia Thierrée was first seen on stage as a young girl, performing with her parents Jean-Baptiste Thierrée and Victoria Thierrée Chaplin, creators of the famous Cirque Imaginaire and Cirque Invisible, which enjoyed a successful run at La Jolla Playhouse during the 1995 season. Now an actress in her own right, Ms. Thierrée has charmed audiences around the world with this dazzling display of stage illusion, inspired by the magic of music hall and circus, co-created with her mother Victoria Thierrée Chaplin, and performed with Jaime Martinez.
