YOKO ONO CUT PIECE by TECHNOLOGOS

Yoko Ono’s “Cut Piece” was first performed in Japan in 1964 and then at Carnegie Hall in New York in 1965.  In 2003 she performed the piece in Paris for the last time.

“In the 1960s I did it out of anger.”  [But of her last performance in 2003] “Following the political changes through the year after 9/11, I felt terribly vulnerable — like the most delicate wind could bring me tears, (…) Cut Piece is my hope for world peace.”
