Legendary performance artist Laurie Anderson returns to The Moore Theatre with Homeland a series of songs and stories that creates a poetic and political portrait of contemporary American culture. Homeland moves through many worlds - from Greek tragedy to American business models. The stories and songs that make up Homeland are marked by a political urgency, addressing the current climate of fear, obsession with information and security.
The music features new melodic forms that Anderson has been developing on the violin, in her work with new electronic systems and Tuvan throat singers.
Anderson is joined by several musicians skilled in improvisation so each performance is unique.
Sonically, Homeland is the most sophisticated Anderson production to date. The electronic controls are all virtual and
Homeland is a tour de force of spoken word and music."
