One of the most singularly captivating and iconic artists in contemporary performance, Laurie Anderson returns to Royce Hall tonight with Dirtday!
In this all-new work, Anderson examines politics, theories of
evolution, families, history, dreams and animals in a soulful collection
of songs and stories, as told by Laurie and her alter ego, Fenway
Bergamot.
Set against a detailed and lush sonic
landscape, the stories and music create a unique hallucinatory world of
dreams and reality.
The third and final element of Anderson’s triptych of solo story works—including Happiness and The End of the Moon—Dirtday! is the provocative culmination of Anderson’s groundbreaking work in this genre.
An
interdisciplinary icon and electrifying performer, Laurie Anderson is
synonymous with modern performance art. Her experimental creative
approach extends to her career as a recording artist, visual artist and
the creator of large-scale theatrical productions that combine music,
multimedia, projected imagery and spoken word. She has entertained and
influenced audiences and artists around the globe and is lauded for her
unique and impeccable performance style, depth of context and commitment
to exploratory work.
