Cunningham explores the life and radical choreography of Merce Cunningham, tracing his long collaboration with composer John Cage and his break with narrative dance. Through archival performances, new 3D reconstructions, and intimate interviews, Alla Kovgan juxtaposes Cunningham's studio practice with his onstage innovations, revealing a choreographer who treated movement as a universal, evolving language and a radical rethink of how dance is made and seen, inviting viewers to reexamine performance's boundaries.
