The performance “Rendez-vous” will be staged in Tbilisi on July 11–12 as part of the Tbilisi International Theater Festival.
The production brings together director and designer James Thierrée, along with Victoria Thierrée-Chaplin, Aurélia Thierrée, and Jean-Baptiste Thierrée, forming a family-led artistic project rooted in theater, circus, and music hall traditions.
The performance is described as a journey through fragments of memory and past creations, where the artists revisit earlier works through a symbolic photo album and an imaginative narrative.
Charlie Chaplin’s granddaughter, Aurélia Thierrée, spoke about the upcoming family performance in the spring issue of the magazine Omnia a few weeks ago.
“We are rehearsing a new family production, my brother, my parents, and I. It has been many years since we last worked together like this. Wish us luck!” she said.
She also reflected on her background in traditional circus performance, describing it as a discipline-based art form shaped by constant rehearsal and collaboration.
“My parents initially worked in traditional circus, although I was still very young when we stopped performing in that context. However, we often visited different circuses. The circus demands discipline: everyone rehearses under the main tent, and you can learn something from each performer. The circle, both physical and metaphorical, defines the circus,” she said.
