Laurie Anderson at EMPAC
Performance artist Laurie Anderson will be at EMPAC this weekend for a work called Delusion. From the blurb:
Produced in part during Laurie Anderson's multiple residencies at EMPAC last year, 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. Delusion tells its story in the colorful and poetic language that has become Anderson's trademark.
Here's a short review in the Guardian. Q&A with Anderson by The Economist's Intelligent Life.
There are two performances -- Friday and Saturday night at eight. EMPAC's site currently lists the tickets as "limited" and "very limited." Tickets are $15.
EMPAC has advertised on AOA in the past. And they were nice enough to allow us to taste pizza there.

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

Thanks for the shout, AOA!
If you are interested in this show, I would buy tickets now - Saturday is currently sold out, and Friday is listed as very limited (which I would put at 30 tickets or less). If any tickets are released, we will be letting people know on our Facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/EMPACnews ) and Twitter ( http://www.twitter.com/EMPACnews ).
