Laurie Anderson on Delusion
Loading...
Uploaded by BAMorg on Aug 2, 2010
A pioneering storyteller whose ever-intriguing convergence of technology, violin, visuals, and voice creates spellbinding tales, Laurie Anderson (The End of the Moon, 2005 Spring Season; Songs and Stories from Moby Dick, 1999 Next Wave) opens the Next Wave Festival with Delusion. A phantasmagoric world made up of short mystery plays, her latest work is activated by brooding, deeply affecting music redolent of Tibetan temple horns and Arabic strings, performed by Anderson on electronically enhanced violin with supporting virtuoso musicians. A Homeric epic about longing, identity, and memory, Delusion invokes both humor and terror, conjuring up elves, mysteries, ghost ships, and dead relatives to spin poetic stories and imagery into gold.
BAM 2010 Next Wave Festival is part of Diverse Voices at BAM sponsored by Time Warner.

I saw Laurie performing Delusion in Brighton, England on May 26. Absolutely stunning performance, sometimes humourous, sometimes gut-wrenchingly harrowing, but a compulsiveand overwhelming experience I'll never forget.
