WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Part of the 2010 Next Wave Festival
NY Premiere
Pioneering performance artist Laurie Anderson opens the 2010 BAM Next Wave Festival with Delusion, a far-reaching work exploring memory and identity.

personal longings, fusing the internal and external worlds into a mystical whole.

Delusion, as the kick off to BAM's much-loved Next Wave Festival. While the work is billed as a series of 20 or so short plays -- mystery plays, as the program evocatively calls them -- it's essentially a moving 90-minute poem on the subject of loss and renewal.
Once again, audiences are treated to Anderson's familiar floating soundscape of violin chords, digital technology, and, in this case, viola and horns from musicians Eyvind Kang and Colin Stetson. The artist's own soothing voice is also filtered now and then through a vocal processor to produce her famous male al[...]
