An electronics whiz visits the alchemical art lab CLICK Festival

One of America’s most renowned – and daring – creative pioneers – Laurie Anderson gives concert at CLICK Festival at Kulturværftet, Elsinore, Saturday 14 May in Hal 14. It’s her second visit to Elsinore in the festivals short six year history.

"We are extremely proud to welcome Laurie Anderson once again at CLICK Festival. She has set her notable sign on her time as a visual artist, composer, poet, photographer, filmmaker, electronics whiz, vocalist, and instrumentalist. Since the 1980s she has dominated the experimental New York scene and is today one of the most important experimental and narrative super icons CLICK Festival leans on. CLICK Festival is an alchemical laboratory and an exploratorium seeking new ways and creates new art forms - like Laurie Anderson," says Mikael Fock, CEO, The Culture Yard and producer at CLICK Festival.
