Laurie Anderson UK Premiere Another Day in America
Sensoria is proud to open this year’s festival with a UK premiere of new solo work by Laurie Anderson.
Continuing her groundbreaking work with voice filters, story telling and music, Another Day in America will feature Anderson’s stories about life in contemporary America. Politics, desire, portraits of cities and people combine with Anderson’s hallucinatory use of language to make up an epic description of the current American landscape.
“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. Another Day in America will take on the volatile present. The evening will feature electric violin, keyboards and electronics. Solo violin pieces such as the Grammy nominated Flow from Homeland will mix with fuller electronic soundscapes to create an intimate look into the song writing style that has made Anderson one of the most original American songwriters. Her current interests also include the Occupy movement, having founded Occupy Art.
Tickets are available from Sheffield City Hall box office tel. 0114 2789 789 or online from
http://www.sheffieldcityhall.co.uk (Performance tickets available and limited availability combined tickets for both Performance and Talk can be obtained)
There is a special Artist Talk with Laurie Anderson the previous day, Friday 20th, at Upper Chapel, Sheffield. A limited number of tickets for the Talk only are available from http://sensoria2012laurieandersontalk.eventbrite.com/Laurie Anderson
