How to Get Out of the Cage: A Year With John Cage & Experimental Films

"Journalist and documentarian Frank Scheffer first met avant-garde music pioneer John Cage in 1982, when the two were introduced by artist Marina Abramovic and subsequently did an interview together. This signified the beginning of a truly remarkable friendship that spanned ten years, until Cage's death in 1992. The centerpiece of this box set is How to Get Out of the Cage - A Year With John Cage, an hour long documentary in which Scheffer profiles the radical musician. It also features five experimental films tied to Cage - Chessfilmnoise (1988), Wagner's Ring (1987), Nopera (1995), Ryoanji (2011) and Stopera's I & 2 (1992)."
