Synopsis: | Conceived as a series of short mystery plays, Delusion jump-cuts between the everyday and the mythic. Combining violin, electronic puppetry, music and visuals, Delusion is full of nuns, elves, golems, rotting forests, ghost ships, archaeologists, dead relatives and unmanned tankers. It tells its story in the colourful and poetic language that has become Anderson's trademark. Inspired by the breadth of Balzac, Ozu and Laurence Sterne, and employing a series of altered voices and imaginary guests, Anderson tells a complex story about longing, memory and identity. At the heart of Delusion is the pleasure of language and a terror that the world is made entirely of words. | |||||

Synopsis: | The performance artist Laurie Anderson has always sought the cosmic in the mundane (and vice versa). Perhaps that's why Nasa made her their first (and as it turns out last) artist in residence. She visited the space agency's facilities, observing, musing and asking questions. The result is The End of the Moon. Ian Johns, The Times. | |||||

Notes: | From Herman Melville, visual design, music and lyrics by Laurie Anderson | |||||
Synopsis: | . It's the hit multi-media show by the New York performance guru, Laurie Anderson, who has been been ploughing her own weird and wacky furrow since the Seventies. The audience was packed with fans avid for a chance to see this short London run (it's this weekend ot never) which is part of the Barbican International Theatre Event. Anderson -famous for being Lou Reed's squeeze - has come up with a show which rides on the back of Herman Melvifie's novel. Part film, part naErative, part rock concert, this is a weird, hallucinatory take on the book, but don't expect a big rubber whale. Instead, you get film of crashing waves, chunks of narrative, and thoughts of Anderson's own accompanied by some tasty bass licks from a onstage guitarist. Characters like the one-legged Captain Ahab (Tom Nelis in a vast stovepipe hat is prominent in a cast of five) are brilliantly vivid. The text is unforgettably evoked in Melville's own images, such as the solitary whale which circles the sea talking to itself "like the last man in a flooded world". Anderson (dapper in trouser suit and cropped hair, right) narrates the action in a comically synthesised voices and operates a Talking Stick - a sort of sonic harpoon - which can emulate any instrument under the sun. The show is a poetic meander, full of hi-tech messing about and briny flavours. Does it deliver? Not quite. But its superstructure bobs impressively up and down on a yarn that's ocean-deep. | |||||
