Aurélia's Oratorio opens TONIGHT! Five Night Only!
You Should Know...
Performer Aurélia Thierrée is Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter
Her mother Victoria Thierrée Chaplin—herself a performer and co-founder of several European circus troupes—directed the piece
The show is 70 minutes of "dazzling stage illusion"
Seattle International Children's Festival is co-producing the show, but it's not for kids under 10. In fact Chaplin calls the show a fairy tale but one in which "a puppet commits suicide — but it's over in one second!"
Opens tonight and plays through May 11, Seattle Repertory Theatre, Seattle Center; $10-$35. Tickets at www.seattlerep.org or 206-443-2222.
