Get to know avant-garde music composer John Cage, whose work challenged the boundaries between music and noise.

In 1960, composer John Cage went on television to share his latest work. But rather than using traditional instruments, Cage appeared surrounded by household clutter, including a bathtub, ice cubes, a toy fish, a rubber duck, several radios, and performed “Water Walk.” Most people watching had the same question: is this even music? Hanako Sawada explores the boundaries between music and noise.

Lesson by Hanako Sawada, directed by Héloïse Dorsan-Rachet.
