Cunningham retrace l’évolution artistique du chorégraphe américain Merce Cunningham, de ses premières années comme danseur dans le New-York d’après-guerre, jusqu’à son émergence en tant que créateur visionnaire. Tourné en 3D avec les derniers danseurs de la compagnie, le film reprend 14 des principaux ballets d’une carrière riche de 180 créations, sur une période de 70 ans. Cunningham est un hommage puissant, à travers des archives inédites, à celui qui révolutionné la danse, ainsi qu’à ses nombreux collaborateurs, en particulier le plasticien Robert Rauschenberg et le musicien John Cage.

Thirty years after the world premiere of legendary choreographer Merce Cunningham's August Pace, the original cast members gather in a New York City studio for the first time to teach their roles to a younger generation. Their reunion is a grand experiment in group transmission where the older dancers rediscover the work only to let it go and see it anew as observers.
