Aurelia's Oratorio, playing now at the Seattle Rep, stars Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter Aurélia Thierrée, and was directed by Chaplin's daughter, Victoria Thierrée Chaplin. A mere description of the show would not do it any kind of justice--it combines circus artistry, acrobatics, dance, slight of hand, puppetry and wild imagery to create an utterly mesmerizing evening. Aurelia and other characters climb out of dresser drawers, swing from red silks, make music with clocks, dance absurd tangos with coats, and a thousand other pieces full of wonder. It is 70 minutes of pure joy, of surreal magic, like watching a vivid dream that captivates you entirely.
