I am very bummed that I am going to miss this. I met Aurelia the other evening and I hear she is as talented as she is lovely.

NYU Skirball Center’s most astonishing event of the season:

Welcome to a beautiful and twisted fantasy world where dresses dance, kites fly their people, and puppets run amok while the lithe Aurélia emerges from a dresser drawer only to escape to the top of the red velvet stage curtain.  In the spectacular tradition of Tim Burton and Edward Gorey, <i>Aurélia’s Oratorio</i> appeals to dreamers of all shapes and sizes.  A dazzling display of stage illusion that draws inspiration from the worlds of music hall, variety, and circus to create a concoction of illusion and fantasy, Aurélia’s Oratorio is an inspiring cultural ambassador exhibiting the best and most exhilarating qualities of French performance past and future.
