Aurelia Thierree will be in town January 25th and 26th. She has agreed to do a small Q+A.
Though it is short notice, I thought it was too great an opportunity to pass. I have prepared questions and am working on getting a short reel of some of her work. Though not a substantial substitute for actually experiencing her performance live, we can enjoy the images and use it to familiarize ourselves with her work before her talk. Hopefully it will encourage those who have not been to the show to make the trip to the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego where the show will be headed after a winter residency in Berkeley. Perhaps we can use the opportunity to schedule a trip and rideshare from Los Angeles to San Diego to see her work.
Here is a small write-up about her show and a link to the first few minutes of Aurelia's Oratorio.
"Welcome to Aurélia’s Oratorio, where the impossible happens before your eyes. Aurélia Thierrée literally grew up in the circus and has charmed audiences around the world with this dazzling display of stage illusion. Behind her velvet curtain lies a surreal world of surprises, a topsy-turvy time of tricks and transformations. “She does wonder wonderfully,” gushes the London Guardian. With dancing, puppetry, acrobatics and more, Aurélia’s Oratorio is an inventive adventure set to a quirky score of chamber music and gypsy jazz."
