[Capdist-announce] EMPAC presents Laurie Anderson: Building an ARK

[TeBordo, Kathryn]

Renowned artist and musician Laurie Anderson opens the fall season at EMPAC in Troy with a free artist talk revealing her newest major stage work.

EMPAC at Rensselaer invites Capital District Theater audiences to “Building an ARK” with Laurie Anderson, Thursday, August 29 at 6PM. Presented in the EMPAC Theater on the campus of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY.

In this free talk presentation, Anderson reveals the process behind her newest music-theater work, ARK, while she is at EMPAC for a final production residency in preparation for its world premiere in Manchester in November.

Described as “a hallucinatory incantation on history and time, a dark comedy for the end of the world,” the opera stars a host of mythical and contemporary figures. Anderson’s subjects in ARK—apocalyptic climate events, technology and information overload, American history—are warped into a story that plays with the flow of time and poses questions about the survival of the human spirit.

How does humanity need to change in order to be saved?

Join us! One night only!
