Viewed with mixed reactions by the audience was the quite unusual Meredith Monk and the House. The program explained: “The house is a group of artists, actors, dancers, and a scientist who are committed to performance as a means of expression and as a means of personal and hopefully, social evolution.

There are things which we don’t know about each other.” 16 1
