About the event
National Sawdust presents the world premiere of THE RASA PROJECT, a multimedia experience that confronts the escalating climate crisis. Created by a team of musicians, software engineers, neuroscientists, and visual artists, this cross-disciplinary performance reimagines John Cage's fascination with indeterminacy by immersing the audience in real-time, A.I.-generated projections. The program—featuring the New York premiere of 2019 Hildegard Winner inti figgis-vizueta's INBHIR, Reena Esmail's exhortative Varsha वर्षा, and Cage's monumental Sonatas and Interludes—invites a poignant reflection on the decay of the planet.
