Join Play House Labs and arts writer and curator Matthew Piper for a free screening of Home of the Brave, Laurie Anderson's 1986 concert film.

Home of the Brave presents a quintessential portrait of Anderson, an influential American performance and multimedia artist, at a pivotal point in her career. Filmed in New Jersey during her 1985 Mister Heartbreak tour, it showcases her signature blend of prophetic poetry, bespoke technology, and avant-pop music and visuals. An inventive, funny, and haunting document from "deep in the heart of darkest America," Home of the Brave's incendiary Reagan-era energy shines vivid light on our own. Directed by and starring Anderson and featuring William S. Burroughs, Adrian Belew, Janice Pendarvis, and others.
