SPOREN II: John Cage und die Pilze

Musical lecture performance with Christiane Abt

Jakrawal Nilthamrong and Kaensan Rattanasomrerk consider the life of mushrooms as a metaphor for how the foundations for new being can grow from destruction and injury. In the SPOREN series of events, we invite you to marvel together at the special forms of organization and communication of fungi.

In contemporary art, there is great interest in the life of fungi. The composer and artist John Cage was already a passionate mycologist and mushroom picker. Oldenburg musician Christiane Abt brings us closer to John Cage's fascination with the world of mushrooms in a musical lecture performance. Macrobiotic snacks will provide a culinary accompaniment to the evening.
