If there was a rule about music in place, John Cage found a way to break or at least tease it, posing fundamental questions about the relationships between art and “real life.”
AVLT celebrates the Cage era with a theatrical mixtape – just think of it as 38 Short Plays About John Cage – reflecting the renegade life and controversial ideas of the 20th century’s most influential experimental composer.
It’s hard to imagine a better fit between subject and style than Available Light Theatre’s sweet and insightful John Cage 101.
