John Cage – Lecture on Nothing

Join us for a Digital Discovery Festival special event with the celebrated playwright and stage director Robert Wilson. For over fifty years, Wilson has been on the vanguard of experimental stagework, building an awe-inspiring curriculum vitae that includes landmark artistic collaborations with Philip Glass, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg and Tom Waits. For this very special event, scheduled on the 18th 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.

Artists are being hit incredibly hard in these trying times. Please consider supporting the artists directly: http://www.robertwilson.com/

The broadcast will take place at 3pm Pacific.
