Originale, a commission from the Theater am Dom, Köln, was a musical and theatrical work organized by Karlheinz Stockhausen and Mary Bauermeister and held in October 1961. Basically playing Stockhausen’s Kontakte for Electronic Sounds, Piano and Percussion that consists of eighteen scenes, contemporary avant-garde artists featured in this work performed it in freely improvisational ways, rather than following a prescribed scenario. The photograph shows David Tudor who took a piano and percussion part, wearing Asian female robe-like clothing with a wig-like headdress, and brewing tea. Nam June Paik whose role in Originale was ‘action‘ presented Zen for Head for the first time, and also Simple that was premiered in Stockholm in the same year.
