Meredith Monk stepped out onto a circular stage, her stride paced yet fluid. She didn’t sing at first, but when she did, she let out a clear, clean soprano sound. This is Meredith Monk at 80 — performing in the staged premiere of her latest work, “Indra’s Net,” at the Holland Festival in Amsterdam on Friday and Saturday — though it could describe her at pretty much any moment in her career, whose trajectory resembles a constellation more than a straightforward path. The first staged performances of “Indra’s Net,” an evening-length work about interconnectedness and interdependence, were delayed by the pandemic. And this fall, the retrospective exhibition “Meredith Monk: Calling” will open at the Haus der Kunst in Munich.

When it was established in 1947, the Holland Festival signaled the Dutch desire to build bridges after World War II. Its mandate was simple: to bring international artists from a range of disciplines to the Netherlands, every summer. “You had three cultural exports at the time: tulips, cheese and the Holland Festival,” Emily Ansenk, who has been the event’s artistic director since 2019, said in an interview. While the 2022 edition tackled climate change and issues of representation, there is no overt theme this year. Still, as the theater portion of the Holland Festival kicked into high gear over this past weekend, common threads started to emerge.
