Filmmaker Alla Kovgan assembles the last generation of Cunningham dancers to present landmark works from Merce Cunningham's repertoire. Taking an inventive approach with locations, the film places dancers in evocative backdrops such as a tunnel, a high-rise rooftop, and a forest. These current-day performances are interlaced with archival footage of Cunningham speaking and moving. We also hear illuminating interviews with John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, and members of the original Merce Cunningham Dance Company.
