Went to see this wonderful whimsical circus-type performance last night. Aurelia - emerging from the chest of drawers above, is French, and has worked on stage with her family almost since she was born. Her mother, the youngest daughter of Charlie Chaplin (!), designed and produced this amazing show.
"The show looks like the world of a mischievous child, full of freakish creatures, both comical and frightening.
It’s a surreal world that some have compared to the paintings of Salvador Dali or Rene Magritte. There are many poetic elements in it, like the scene in which Aurelia plays an old Italian song on alarm clocks old and new."

Well worth catching if you can ... :)

This is the kind of quirky performance that I love. I hope she comes to LA.
