Barbican, London Accompanied by a virtuosic band and powered by her operatic voice, Anohni is as good as Nina Simone at interpreting songs – and her own catalogue proves equally malleable yet strong ‘I never felt a part of this world,” Anohni begins on You Are My Enemy. “I reject the way that we live.” The career-spanning songs and cover versions she has selected for this show, entitled Wilderness...
Barbican, London Accompanied by a virtuosic band and powered by her operatic voice, Anohni is as good as Nina Simone at interpreting songs – and her own catalogue proves equally malleable yet strong ‘I never felt a part of this world,” Anohni begins on You Are My Enemy. “I reject the way that we live.” The career-spanning songs and cover versions she has selected for this show, entitled Wilderness, reiterate themes of exile and alienation, to which the answer (as a distorted prerecorded monologue explains) is the power of creativity to remake the world and the self. In the quarter-century since she emerged from the New York art scene, blessed by William Basinski and Lou Reed, Anohni has held fast to the belief that communication through art is of existential importance, and with such unwavering intensity that she makes most singers look like they’re just having a laugh. Wilderness is typically rigorous. Anohni and her virtuosic band – Gaël Rakotondrabe on grand piano, Chris Vatalaro on percussion, Leo Abrahams on guitar and bass – play before a film of swans gliding through the night. Sometimes they change colour, but it really is just 90 minutes of swans. Even swans don’t want to look at swans for that long. It’s much more interesting to watch Anohni herself. With her peroxide-white mane and floor-length black robe, she resembles a cleric or a sorcerer. She barely speaks and, when she sings, she stands motionless but for the hands trembling by her sides, as if making her entire body a channel for her extraordinary, operatic voice and the words it carries.

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Caught In A Severe Drawdown After initiating Novo Nordisk ( NVO ) with a 'Buy' rating earlier this month, I now turn my attention to another beaten-down healthcare giant, namely Abbott Laboratories ( ABT ). Having reached a cycle high of $141.23 per share in early March 2025, the stock just closed at $92.48 as of April 23rd, which is equivalent to a ~35% decline in just over a year. As illustrated in the chart below, Abbott is now caught in one of its largest drawdowns of the past decades, even exceeding the price decline recorded during the 2008-09 global financial crisis. In my view, this represents a compelling buying opportunity, and I am glad to disclose that I initiated a small position earlier today at an average price of $90.81 per share. Data by YCharts To highlight the strength and the durability of Abbott's broadly diversified portfolio, the company declared last February its 409th consecutive quarterly dividend since 1924, which is now standing at $0.63 per share . This also marks the 54th annual dividend increase, making ABT both a dividend aristocrat and a dividend monarch. Using S&P's ( SPGI ) terminology, a dividend aristocrat is defined as a company that has increased its annual dividend for 25 consecutive years , while the time span rises to 50 years for dividend monarchs. Of course, it would be unwise to reach any definitive conclusion only by looking at a company's dividend history, but I think it is a good way to underscore the stability and durability of Abbott's business model. The breadth and depth of ABT's portfolio are also reflected in its manufacturing base encompassing 89 facilities around the world, making it one of the largest in the healthcare industry.
