Follow Merce Cunningham’s artistic evolution over three decades of risk and discovery (1944–1972), from his early years as a struggling dancer in postwar New York to his emergence as one of the most visionary and influential choreographers worldwide. Shot over seven years and mixing archival material with contemporary re-staging by the Centre National de Danse Contemporaine d’Angers of some of his most complex work, the film is both dazzling and enriching.
