Aurélia’s Oratorio

A remarkable display of stage illusion created especially for and with Aurélia Thierrée, Aurélia’s Oratorio  draws inspiration from the worlds of music hall, variety and circus to create a concoction of illusion and fantasy.

Aurélia Thierrée has performed as an actress and illusionist since early childhood, initially with her parents Jean-Baptiste Thierrée and Victoria Thierrée Chaplin (pioneers of new circus) in the famous Cirque Invisible and Cirque Imaginaire, and more recently with Tiger Lillies Circus of Shockheaded Peter fame.
