How to pass..., John Cage en Merce Cunningham, Holland Festival 1970


Merce Cunningham and John Cage - two 'high priests' of the American avant-garde together on-stage during Holland Festival 1970. This clip shows an excerpt from Merce Cunningham & Dance Company and John Cage's performance 'How to pass, kick, fall and run' (1965). Merce Cunningham dances along himself and John Cage is the onstage narrator. The music is from John Cage's Stories of Indeterminacy.
