A life in the spotlight will keep anyone hidden. Julia Pastrana is
the singing and dancing marvel from Mexico. She is heralded across
nineteenth-century Europe as much for her talent as for her unusual
looks. Yet few can see past her freakish appearance to the
ambitious woman within. Orphans of the Carnival sweeps us from the
music halls of Vienna to an attic in modern-day South London,
playing out an epic tale of grit, love, music and the triumph of
the human spirit pushed to extremes.
