1960s American avant-garde art revived in Tokyo in 2025!

The stage for hyper avant-garde art,
Hillside Terrace" completed in 1969.

Tokyo in 1962, when John Cage first visited Japan and composed "0 minutes and 00 seconds" for Toshi Ichiyanagi and Yoko Ono.
Yoko Ono (92), acting as Cage's interpreter, experienced and "performed" his accidental music and innovation of "action" up close.

In 2025, her masterpiece "Cut Piece" will be performed as the symbol of this event.
