For six decades, Meredith Monk has been creating groundbreaking performance art using her voice, choreography, videos and musical narrations. MONK IN PIECES presents a kaleidoscopic view of the artist’s life by means of her artworks. Archive footage of happenings and multimedia operas are artfully interwoven with interviews with her contemporaries. Silvia Bauer
