Overview
Anohni (formerly known as Antony Hegarty) is coming to Vivid for the Sydney-only, Australian premiere of her ambitious new project, Hopelessness. A collection of electronic anthems, created in collaboration with super producer Hudson Mohawke and Warp's Oneohtrix Point Never, the album tackles climate change, drone bombing and mass surveillance, without holding back (but with insanely beautiful vocals).
Prepare for disturbingly direct lyrics, soaring melody lines, synth surges, brass bursts and powerful percussion. At the Opera House, Anohni's work will be presented as an all-immersive, wall-shaking show, complete with visuals.
"I haven't spent a lot of time expressing anger in my life, so this record is a new chapter," Anohni said at a press conference in April. "Anger is energising: it's quite an empowering feeling."
