Bach Cello Suite #3: Falling Down Stairs

Yo-Yo Ma collaborates with Mark Morris to create a dance for the Third Suite. Morris expresses reservations about interpreting the work as choreographer, which he feels is less than that of a musician. Over the course the film Morris works with his troupe and then with Yo-Yo to create a dance. The title, as Morris explains, comes from a dream he had where he saw one of his dancers falling down a flight of stairs in time with the opening scale of the Suite. (en.wikipedia.org)
