“Cage Shuffle is: Beautiful, profound and hilarious-as all things should be.”
-David Byrne
In this critically acclaimed 50-minute spoken-word solo featuring texts written by John Cage, Paul Lazar brings Cage’s personal stories to life by following the composer’s notated instructions to speak each one aloud in just one minute. Through a mesmerizing blend of spoken word and meticulously choreographed movement by Tony Award-winner Annie-B Parson, audiences are treated to a thrilling experience where text and motion intertwine, creating unexpected and delightful connections that will both amuse and provoke contemplation. This one-of-a-kind production has wowed audiences worldwide since its 2017 premiere, and now Japan Society presents a special version that focuses on texts referencing Japan, Zen and Cage’s Japanese friends.
