As the country prepares for the 2012 presidential election, Texas Performing Arts welcomes one of America's premiere artists, Laurie Anderson, performing her intimate but volatile piece, Dirtday!

As Anderson says, "Politicians are essentially story tellers. They describe the world as it is and also as they think it should be.
