‘Murmurs’ to hit stage in Shanghai

THE timeless charms of Charlie Chaplin are brought to life in the fantasy stage-show “Murmurs” — also known as “What the Walls are Saying” — a work created by the famed silent actor’s talented granddaughter, dancer and acrobat Aurelia Thierree.

The humorous and sentimental show has been described as a modern-day “Alice in Wonderland” by critics. Audiences around the world have already been delighted by this fantastic and visually stunning stage experience, which combines dance, acrobatics, magic and mime.

Thierree plays a curious woman who wanders through a world of illusion, where rooms filled with various ordinary objects magically come alive or transform into fantastical creatures.

Since the show’s debut in the UK back in 2011, “Murmurs” has been performed in more than 20 countries and regions. To date, the show has been staged over 1,000 times.

In the eyes of Thierree, walls protects people’s privacy while also witnessing the joys and sorrows of their human inhabitants. She uses walls as metaphors for the sometimes fragile human world as well as our own inner emotional barriers.
