At a critical time for US politics, Laurie Anderson’s Ark: United States V brings together new music, cinematic imagery, stories, and songs in an imaginative and personal interrogation of where we are now. Catch the show at Manchester’s Factory International from Tuesday 12 to Sunday 24 November 2024.
Laurie Anderson said: “For a long time I’ve wanted to make a new large-scale work about the United States – a collection of songs and stories about what has shaped this country in the 21st century. I plan to tell these stories moving through myth, journalism, fable, and Tik Tok, conjuring alternate realities and stories from my own life. Part ruminations, part long-form poems, ARK will also be a kind of 3D Movie.”
