Monk In Pieces - David C. Roberts, Billy Shebar

A film about Meredith Monk: composer, performer, visionary. Featuring interviews with Björk and David Byrne, Monk in Pieces is a mosaic that illuminates Monk’s wildly original vocabulary of sound and imagery. Despite sexist and condescending criticism in the 1960s-70s, Meredith Monk stayed true to her own path, becoming a unique and unclassifiable artist. Monk in Pieces weaves archives, performances, and interviews into the portrait of a visionary who made her body and voice instruments of freedom.
