“What we lack the most is the believe in world, in an obvious way we have lost the world or we were deprive of it. To believe in world means also: to support all of those little events that sneak out our control, or to create new space-times, even these with confined space and volume.”
Gilles Deleuze „Approving and control”

Celebration is not an epitaph - it is a collective lively thought, it is a space energized and interpreted thanks to Cage.
What for do we need today the heritage of an avant-garde revolutionist and experimenter John Cage?
In which way could we use the whole of his thought and art work?
What is the answer today for the question of the connection between life and art?
