Berkeley Rep Closes AURÉLIA'S ORATORIO, 1/31
Even as it celebrates its success on Broadway, Berkeley Repertory Theatre has another hit here at home. The Tony Award-winning nonprofit just announced that it is extending the run of Aurélia's Oratorio. Five performances have been added, but purchase tickets now because this magical show must close on January 31.
The critics love Aurélia! "She does wonder wonderfully," gushes the London Guardian. "She balances whimsy and wit, childlike wonder and adult élan, throughout her quietly magical show," says the Boston Globe. "Her grace, her inventive and fluid movement, and above all her humor simply invite our delight." It's "an absolute spellbinder," declares the UK's Daily Telegraph. "Like most vivid reveries, it momentarily colors the way you see the waking world."
"Wildly innovative," raves the San Jose Mercury News. "Don't let the high-flying French titles hold you back, Aurélia's Oratorio is an effervescent blend of hilarious innovation and old-fashioned knock-your-socks-off entertainment." "Aurélia's Oratorio combines the best of mime, acrobatics, dance, and design, to create a circuitous, circus revel guaranteed to transport and to charm," adds the SF Bay Guardian. But perhaps the San Francisco Chronicle sums it up best when it asserts, "Aurélia Thierrée a charismatic and multitalented performer who practically defines the word beguiling, and versatile dancer Jaime Martinez turn everyday expectations upside-down in a 70-minute comically surreal dreamscape that blends vaudeville, circus skills, dance, aerial acrobatics, puppetry, and endless illusions... The show is like a beautiful stocking stuffed with one surprising gift after another."
