film records the long year cellist Yo-Yo Ma spent working
with choreographer Mark Morris and the fourteen members
of the Mark Morris Dance Group that culminated in a
spectacular performance conceived especially for Suite
Number 3 for Cello Solo.Falling Down Stairs moves with
Mark and Yo-Yo from city to city, documenting
collaboration, intimacy, and sincerity in one of the
rarest of creative experiences.The film has its
highlights with Yo-Yo Ma recording the studio track and
presentation of Mark Morris’s final choreography
exclusively for the cameras of the production.
