Friday 17 November 2023 at the Teatro Auditorium Santa Chiara in Trento
Among the best representatives of the New York avant-garde scene, performer and artist, musician and, by his own definition, 'storyteller', Laurie Anderson announces his return to Italy, in Trento, in the splendid setting of the Santa Chiara Auditorium for what will be a refined and overwhelming performance in which he will present, among stories, multimedia elements and experimentation, the 'Let X = X' tour, accompanied on stage by the New York band Sexmob, led by Steven Bernstein (wind), with Briggan Krauss (sax, guitar), Tony Scherr (bass), Kenny Wollesen (percussion) and Doug Wieselman (guitar and wind).
Behind Laurie Anderson there is an incredible artist who has made the avant-garde and minimalism her inspiration: composer, writer, director, photographer, instrumentalist, visual artist, explorer of new forms of technology, all these characteristics blend naturally into a figure that embodies the creative act understood as an uninterrupted performance like noother. In the new adventure that will take Laurie Anderson to Italy after the success of audiences and critics who saw her star thissummer in an amazing concert on the only Italian date in Ravenna, the artist brings back to the stage 'Let X = X', a song taken from the masterpiece album 'Big Science' (1982), a happy minimalist synthesis between Steve Reich and Robert Ashley, which lyophilizes avant-garde theatre in the pop-music lexicon. And that will become the cornerstone of a dazzling musical narrative, conspired with the help of a group of splendid veterans of the downtown New York scene.
