National Sawdust presents Robert Wilson performing John Cage’s ‘Lecture on Nothing’
Our friends at National Sawdust stream a special event with the celebrated playwright, stage director, and performer Robert Wilson. For over fifty years, Wilson has been on the vanguard of experimental stage work, building an awe-inspiring set of landmark artistic collaborations with luminaries Philip Glass, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, and Tom Waits, among others. For this exceptional presentation — scheduled on the eighteenth anniversary of the passing of John Cage — Wilson will present an appreciation of the revolutionary composer with a solo performance of his famed 'Lecture on Nothing’.
"All I know about method, is that when I am not working, I sometimes think I know something, but when I am working, it is quite clear that I know nothing.”
— John Cage
