Slog - Comments on Interrogation with Aurélia Thiérrée http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/interrogation_with_aurelia_thierree In France in the 1970s, Victoria Chaplin (daughter of Charlie) and Jean-Baptiste Thiérrée (a French movie star) started performing a kind of circus act nobody had seen before. It was a marriage of the new and the nostalgic, vaudeville for drug people, that ditched the traditional flashy costumes, animal acts, and other three-ring hooha for dreamy clowning. People called it cirque nouveau and it became the fountainhead for the cabaret and circus revival that’s everywhere today, from Circus Contraption to Cirque de Soleil.

I get her insecurity, but if you'd be absolutely nowhere without your parents, grandparents and, for crying out loud, your great-grandparents, maybe it would be nice to acknowledge tham a little and come off like an ass a little less.

And it couldn't have been easy, growing up in a family with the world's most famous playwrights and movie stars. (Plus a good dose of scandal and the subject of lurid and antagonistic press.) Her prickliness is understandable. And I bet it'll be a good show...

I'm green with envy.

I will be too cheap/lazy to actually go to the show.

This sounds exactly what I want, and rarely get, from a theater experience. A truly transporting spectacle which allows me to forget the mundaneness of my world for 90 minutes. I'm so there.

I don't care how cool/revolutionary/groundbreaking/whatever their act may be, anyone with that attitude toward her fans/potential fans doesn't deserve an audience. That's unfortunate, because this is just the kind of show I'd go to.

Oh well. More money in my pocket, less in the *choke* artiste's.

Dump the attitude and we can talk.
