Já falta pouco

Sobre o trabalho que traz para o Festival Codex, The end of the moon, Laurie Anderson escreve que "I find that the best way to look at our culture these days is not through a multi media show, but with the simpler and sharper tools of words.".
Ela conta-nos mais nesta entrevista.
O que sublinho, o seguinte, é o lado errante de Laurie Anderson, fazer das suas caminhadas, sem objectivo nenhum, sem mapas,“oh, this is beautiful”.
A artista vai aproveitar a vinda ao Porto para caminhar até a Casa da Música, onde bem podia ser o concerto.



I know you’re doing a walking project as well. Taking these ten-day walks. Is this connected to the French radio project?


Laurie Anderson: Well it started that way. I was in Milan, and I had just finished months of recording and I suddenly thought, maybe I should walk to Paris to mix this.Because walking is a lot like writing a diary are similar. You don’t know what’s going to happen next, and doing a diary is completely bizarre – there’s absolutely no plot, and these people appear, and you’re reading it and yousay, wow I didn’t realize that so and so was going to be so important to me-Anyway, the problem with walking to Paris was the Alps. Which was a major problem.
