Laurie Anderson, described by The Boston Globe as the "reigning performance artist of her time," returns to the Festival with her most sophisticated production to date, 'Homeland,' a "concert poem" driven by the political urgency of contemporary American culture. Weaving a conceptual sonic tapestry through spoken word, music and technology, Anderson, backed by a complement of top-notch New York musicians, offers audiences an editorial narrative on the delivery of information and control, the push and pull of freedom and fear, and today's omnipresent context of war.
