New York City
Aurélia’s Oratorio is inspired by European circuses and medieval drawings depicting upside-down and inside-out worlds. Nothing is as it seems as the impossible happens. Ice cream appears burning-hot, clothes are hung out to be watered, furniture has a mind of its own, trains go through people and, at times, the puppets are in charge. A riveting combination of physical theater, comedy, magic and dance – all set to a quirky soundtrack of accordions, chamber music, and gypsy jazz created especially for the performance by the Tiger Lillies.
