Heart of a Dog (2015) | n this poetic and personal meditation on love, grief, and language, pioneering Illinois-born musician and performance artist Laurie Anderson reflects on a range of topics, from post-9/11 fears and privacy issues to the death of her beloved dog, Lolabelle, whom she taught to play the piano. Like all of Anderson’s art, Heart of a Dog is a funny, political, and profound multi-layered experience.
