In Pursuit of Silence plot
The avant-garde composer John Cage wrote the piece 4'33'' in 1952 in which the pianist does not touch his piano and only the coughing or shuffling feet of the audience are the audible sound. It is one of many expressions of the impact of silence. But does pure silence exist? Why are we looking for it? Or vice versa, why are we just running away from it? In a trip around the world, we explore the secret nature of silence - from the silence in the remote American wilderness over Japanese Zen monasteries to the hallucinatory absence of silence in contemporary metropolises, where noise pollution becomes unhealthy and causes aggression and stress.
