In “Everybody’s Cage”, German film artist Sandra Trostel turns John Cage and his approach to art into a tangible fascination, without giving in to explain just a single bit of it.

Alice Sara Ott and Francesco Tristano join forces for this energetic and joyful collaboration on the stage of the international Heidelberger Frühling (Heidelberg Spring) festival, held annually since 1997 in March and April in the romantic German city. The program, entirely designed by good friends Ott and Tristano, is entitled "Scandal" in reference to the public outcry provoked by Stravinsky's Rite of Spring—indignantly called a "massacre" upon its 1913 premiere at Paris's Théâtre des Champs Élysées.

Scandal! Alice Sara Ott and Francesco Tristano

Although he is a highly regarded classical pianist, Francesco Tristano closes his concerts with a remarkable DJ set.  With these unique performances, part classical music and part electronic, the Luxembourg-based artist proves he can stimulate both mind and body.
