Peter Sellars is one of the most all-around inspiring people you'll ever come across. The acclaimed, unconventional opera and theater director invites himself and audiences to embrace challenge and push their emotional and spiritual boundaries. “Let go and fall forward” is his credo. Helga and Peter talk about his work with the Flexn dancers and Bach's St. Matthew Passion, his sister who runs a dance machine arcade for teenagers in Las Vegas, and how he still isn't sure what he's been put here for.
