AN EVENING FOR MONIKA NEUN
And then disappear
The theatre artist Monika Neun’s newly published debut novel remains as her legacy. ‘And then go’ weaves recurring remembrances into a novel to tell the story of a young woman’s search for life. “Unflinching and defiant, precise and of lucid beauty.” (Judith Hermann). Friends and companions present her book.
MONIKA NEUN (*1967 †2022) studied literature, language and theatre, and lived in Rome und Paris. Between 1999 and 2011 she staged regular productions in Switzerland’s major theatres whilst also founding ‘raum33’, a venue for experimental theatre. Monika Neun died in Basel in July 2022 from cancer.
