Ойын-сауық
The series concludes with a unique episode showing the last twenty minutes of Merce Cunningham's final interview. He answers questions including "What did dancing mean to you?" "Should dance last?" and "How is it that your dances are so passionate?" in this final conversation for the series, filmed at the Cunningham Studio at Westbeth.
MERCE CUNNINGHAM (1919-2009) was a leader of the American avant-garde throughout his seventy year career and is considered one of the most important choreographers of his time. Through much of his life, he was also one of the greatest American dancers. With an artistic career distinguished by constant innovation, Cunningham expanded the frontiers not only of dance, but also of contemporary visual and performing arts.

Brilliant. Mr. Cunningham never lost his curiosity or clarity of vision. He was a great teacher.
The interviewer is asking dumb questions and he still delivers eloquent, useful answers
I love the way he persist in giving brilliant answers to really stupid interventions !
