The counselor's job is to help them discover whether Connie's needs for a deeper
kind of communication can also become Steve's needs and whether they have enough in common to build a relationship with a different, more conscious and
articulated «contract.»
Articulating a
kind of collective «muteness,» these works variously explore the suppression
of communication, through the absence, concealment, or interruption
of the «voice»: where intention and meaning consequently remain, literally, «unspoken.»
