Cunningham

Merce Cunningham is an iconic figure in dance, known for his collaborations with composer John Cage and visual artist Robert Rauschenberg in the mid-20th century.

Filmmaker Alla Kovgan brings the last generation of Cunningham dancers together to perform landmark works from his repertoire, focusing on the 1942-1972 period. Shot in 3D, the film places dancers in evocative backdrops, interlacing them with archival footage of Cunningham and interviews with Cage, Rauschenberg, and original company members. Whether a neophyte or aficionado, viewers will leave with a rich experience of Cunningham's art.
