Laurie Anderson, Delusion (2010) - photo © Leland Brewster  PERFORMANCE Laurie Anderson: Delusion Friday + Saturday, October 15 + 16, 2010, 8 PM Theater $15/$10/$5 Laurie Anderson's Delusion is a meditation on life and language by way of music, video, and storytelling. Conceived as a series of short mystery plays, Delusion jump-cuts between the everyday and the mythic. Employing violin, electronic puppetry, music, visuals, altered voices, and imaginary guests, Anderson weaves a complex story about longing, memory, and identity. At its heart is the pleasure of language and a fear that the world is made entirely of words. You can check out some clips from the performance here.
