Laurie Anderson Homeland
from:The Moore Theatre category:Arts and Entertainment posted:October 1st, 2008STG Presents Laurie Anderson Homeland
Legendary
performance artist Laurie Anderson returns to The Moore Theatre with
Homeland a series of songs and stories that creates a poetic and
political portrait of contemporary American culture. Homeland moves
through many worlds - from Greek tragedy to American business models.
The stories and songs that make up Homeland are marked by a political
urgency, addressing the current climate of fear, obsession with
information and security.
The music features new melodic forms that Anderson
has been developing on the violin, in her work with new electronic
systems and Tuvan throat singers. Anderson is joined by several
musicians skilled in improvisation so each performance is unique.
Sonically, Homeland is the most sophisticated
Anderson production to date. The electronic controls are all virtual
and Homeland is a tour de force of spoken word and music."
