YO-YO MA: INSPIRED BY BACH - THE SOUND OF THE CARCERI
Yo-Yo Ma with Piranesi<

Yo- Yo Ma performs Bach in a virtual prison designed by Piranesi.

THE SOUND OF THE CARCERI explores the deep relationship between music and architecture through a high-tech "virtual confrontation" between Bach and his contemporary, the architect Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Using a striking visual style, director Fran?ois Girard ("The Red Violin" and "Thirty- Two Short Films about Glenn Gould") places Yo- Yo Ma within a series of computer-generated, three-dimensional recreations of Piranesi's well-known prison etchings.

Through Yo- Yo Ma's and music producer Steven Epstein's struggle to recreate and interact with the imaginary space that Ma performs in, the film examines the complexity of illusion, of representation and reality.
