Meredith Monk's Five-Year French Absence Denounced as Scandal

A dossier in artpress magazine decries the inexplicable neglect of avant-garde composer and performer Meredith Monk in France, where no full performance has been staged in five years. The exception was a brief concert in Gennevilliers in autumn 1986, which was a resounding success. The article frames this absence as a form of censorship and absurd indifference, highlighting the disconnect between Monk's international acclaim and her invisibility in the French cultural scene.
