Falling Down Stairs (Yo-Yo Ma: Inspired by Bach)

Part three of a series of six films - conceived by cellist Yo-Yo Ma - that presents a multi-faceted celebration of Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Suites for Unaccompanied Cello”. In this episode renowned cello virtuoso Yo-Yo Ma embarks on an intense year-long collaboration with choreographer Mark Morris, which culminates in a spectacular performance, conceived especially for film, of Bach's Third Suite for Unaccompanied Cello as interpreted by Yo-Yo Ma and the 14-member Mark Morris Dance Group. The film follows Mark and Yo-Yo from city to city, documenting their collaboration with remarkable intimacy, humour and candour.
