Join us, as Yuri Saprykin, editing director of Afisha Publishing House and one
of the most knowledgeable specialists in Russia on contemporary music, dissects
the interesting fluctuations between the musical avant-garde and the most
outrageous exponents of pop culture, taking the activities of artist Laurie
Anderson and pop icon Lady Gaga, as examples. Although producing music in
different eras and genres, these two examples are particularly relevant to the
discussion, as both artists employ unexpected elements of performance, with
Gaga showing inspired elements of Anderson’s popular performance of ‘talking
opera’.
