“We're hard-pressed to think of a better opener to BAM's annual Next Wave Festival than local legend Laurie Anderson. Whether playing music or painting, Anderson is first and foremost a storyteller, so we're excited to see her premiere this epic meditation on memory, dreams, identity, and personal journey. An incredible multimedia performance, Delusion is a string of short plays, guided by Anderson on electric violin and other performers contributing "Tibetan temple horns and Arabic strings."”
Leah Taylor, Flavorpill
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 plays, her latest work is activated by brooding, deeply affecting music redolent with Tibetan temple horns and Arabic strings, performed by Anderson on electronically enhanced violin with supporting virtuoso musicians.
