What can i say about Laurie Anderson that we don´t know? I just love her. Her work is so intricate, inspirational, complex, funny, fun, witty, creative, humble and intelligent...that I could basically go over and over to her shows, find something new each time and never get tired. This was my second time to her show Delusion. The way she uses the stage, the audiovisuals, the manipulation of her own voice through her computer, her compositions in simbiosis with her stories, her interpretations of life, her funny and satirical comments about Americans makes us, or rather, most of us Europeans, specially amused without feeling we are being cruel to the very same people we love.
I was very touched by the story about her mother. When her mom is dying, she goes to a priest and tells him she really does not love her mom, but she is dying, what should she do..The priest suggest she should tell her anyway she always cared about her. But she does not want to lie. During this ethic conflict, that i find so baldly honest, her mom dies...She shares with us her dilemma and I am taken by her sincerity. She is a true inspiration...I wanna be like you!!!!! When i grow up....
