INDETERMINACY

JOHN CAGE - INDETERMINACY. WITH STEVE BERESFORD, TANIA CHEN, STEWART LEE & ALAN TOMLINSON. TOUR OF LONDON - SEPTEMBER 2012
I say, “Please come. These shows are always a little bit magic.”
Three contemporary musicians and a comedian tour John Cage’s Indeterminacy around London in a three night marathon of unusual events. Indeterminacy was originally recorded in 1959, with David Tudor playing the piano and John Cage reading aloud 90 stories, each lasting one minute.
Tonight, fearless contemporary pianists Tania Chen and Steve Beresford will assume the role of Tudor, accompanying the comedian Stewart Lee reading Cage's stories, with occasional unrelated events on the piano (and other things).
This is a performance which disorientates and transfixes and audience.
Beresford addresses its strange effect: 'There's no word for it, which is why it's worth doing.'
The first half of the programme will comprise a performance of John Cage’s Solo For Sliding Trombone, by Alan Tomlinson, and improvisations by Steve Beresford and Tania Chen.
