Brisbane Festival

While all Brisbane Festival performances of the amazing production L'Oratorio d'Aurélia has already sold out, there will be the chance to hear the lead performer speak.

Aurélia Thiérrée is the granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin and great-granddaughter of Eugene O'Neill. She grew up performing in her parents' Le Cirque Imaginaire and Le Cirque Invisible, during which time she learned to combine a developing sense of the surreal with the demands and discipline. L'Oratorio d'Aurélia was inspired by medieval drawings that depict worlds upside down and inside out.

Aurélia Thiérrée will be speaking about her life working and touring on the international stage as well as the making of the dreamlike L'Oratorio d'Aurélia, an enchanting production directed and created by her mother Victoria Thiérrée-Chaplin.

This is a free event on Saturday afternoon, 26 September at the QUT Spiegeltent, starting at 12pm. No bookings are necessary.
