“There are two things that don’t have to mean anything, one is music and the other is laughter” Immanuel Kant, paraphrased by John Cage

 

John Cage (1912–1992) & Elaine Paige (b.1948) star in a new avant-garde musical, the West End Hit, ‘Paige After Paige’. Cage, King of 20th century music, philosopher and partner of choreographer Merce Cunningham meets his match in Elaine Paige, the Queen of the Musical. Seemingly at odds and juxtaposed, together they explore the meaning of life, sound, music, memories, time, space and cats. And you thought you knew them so well.
