 Laurie Anderson: "DirtDay!"
8:00 p.m., Performing Arts Center, Concert Hall
Legendary musician and performance artist Laurie Anderson looks at politics, theories of evolution, families, history and animals in this riotous and soulful collection of songs and stories. "Politicians are essentially story tellers. They describe the world as it is and also as they think it should be. As a fellow story teller, it seems like a really good time to think about how words can literally create the world." Illusion, memory and the shifting states of American culture have been Anderson's subjects since the late '70's. Dirtday! will take on the volatile present. The evening will feature electric violin, keyboards and electronics. Set against a detailed and lush sonic landscape, the stories and music create a unique picture of a hallucinatory world made of dreams and reality.
To purchase tickets visit aupac.adelphi.edu or the Lucia and Steven N. Fischer Box Office.
