i've never see this documentary before. Her performances were atemporal and experimental at the same time. Incredible control of her voice and her body.

thanks peter!

The human body as instrument.

It reminds me of the little boy trapped in the TV in Willy Wonka....with Johnny Depp.

This is incredible artistry. She's so gifted and intelligent. I can't believe she made this piece in her 20s.

I feel deep fascination!!!

[Gymnastdevil808]

I think the 60's and 70's was just a time of all kinds of abstract and inventive expression and she was right there at the top of the abstracity!

She is peruvian

[orangestoneface]

I dont belive it

[thewalking]

She's not. She made that up once, put it in a program of hers as a joke, and people believed it.

Monk's work is truly impressive. Actually it is very simple. Not much overblown philosophy behind the images and the vocal concept. Incredible what she can do with that voice of hers.

i like how this demented art dyke talks about her music as if there's some purpose, or logic behind it. this is the musical equivalent of diarrhea. it has nothing but comedic value, it's worthless, she's worthless, get a fucking job you imbecile.

[Adian00]

it's natural to fear what you don't understand. don't worry you'll grow out of it.

[bamsekukk]

Oh my God this is scary. Why is she suffering so much this Monk? She needs help cant you all se. please help.

I love how she can say "humor and irony" in a tone that betrays neither.
