Some pieces should be heard as well as seen (my son included 4'33" in his degree recital along with Mozart and Ives).
Seriously, I recall a concert from the days of "happenings" when a bunch of chamber players wandered around the stage making various squawks and beeps. The climax of the piece was a musician climbing a stepladder and hitting a bell.
