Improvisational and incantatory, this immersive performance will feature Laurie Anderson and her string ensemble alongside New Zealand musicians including Horomona Horo and Megan Collins, Jo Hilder, Budi Putra and Gregory Street from Gamelan Wellington.
As well as Laurie’s own writing, The Calling takes text from Rebel in the Soul: An Ancient Egyptian Dialogue Between a Man and His Destiny – a translation of a 4000-year- old discourse between a person and their soul, which speaks to us with intriguing relevance for today.
The Calling is dedicated to the spirit of Laurie’s niece Thea Anderson, who taught dance in New Zealand and lost her life here in a car accident on her 25th birthday.
Make a night of it and experience Stewart Hurwood’s guitar feedback installation Lou Reed Drones also at the Lower Hutt Events Centre.
