Imagine Giovanni Battista Piranesi's dazzling 'Carceri' (prison) etchings - the unrealized dreams of this 18th-century Italian master architect - brought to life in a computer-rendered 3-D 'Virtual'Collaboration. In this cutting-edge film by François Girard (director of the red violin), Yo-Yo Ma explores Bach's mysterious Second Suite, creating with his music a sound to match the invented spaces of our imagination.
