Apart from the absence of sound, what does the word "silence" mean in different contexts or in different languages? Which expressions or synonyms do we have available to describe silence? John Cage (1912–1992) published a collection of lectures held between 1939 and 1958 in his book called SILENCE in 1961. In the spring and summer term of 2021 we will read texts from this book and use some of Cage's strategies to create performance lectures of our own. Assignments will include taking a walk, the search for noise and silence, and telling a story.
