Delusion

Delusion (4.5/5)
Laurie Anderson
Vancouver Playhouse, Vancouver, Canada
17th February 2010

Laurie Anderson’s storytelling demands full attention and rewards with great depth. Initially continuing her previous work’s satirical observations on the USA (Homeland), Anderson rapidly moves onto deeply moving personal accounts of aging, death and parent/child relationships. Tales of hopes dashed, hence delusions. Anderson’s storytelling is so sad that you could cry, her music so full of energy you want to shout with joy – an artistic Olympian without doubt.
