Cage & Cunningham

"I love sounds, just as they are"





John Cage (1912 – 1992) was an American composer, most famously known for 4'33" in which the performer sits in silence in front of his or her instrument, forcing the audience to just listen. While he intensely loved sounds and devoted his life to combining, creating and composing, he found his partner and counterpart in choreographer Merce Cunningham (1919-2009). Cunningham tackled dance like Cage music; substitute sound for movement. He choreographed with something akin to a religion of movement and the conviction in the boundless possibilities of the human body.


Wonderfully aligned in mind and vision, the choreographer and composer combined their passions and formed a dynamic team..
