Aristidou, Wiegers and the MKO

HOMELAND IN A FOREIGN LAND – STRANGER IN ONE'S OWN HOMELAND. In the work of Claude Vivier and Chaya Czernowin, this dialectic is existential. As an orphan of unknown parents, a homosexual and a French Canadian, Vivier saw himself excluded several times over. His lifelong search for his biological mother led him to Paris, where he was murdered by a prostitute in March 1983.
