%X Traduction de Pour un oui pour un non pour la création de la pièce en version anglaise par Simone Benmussa le 29 mai 1985 à New York.

However, there is some dramatic action in Le Silence and Pour un oui pour un non. Between her first and last piece, the characters weigh themselves down with flesh and develop a poetics of vertigo, which expresses the dissolution of the self, the presence-absence in the world, the enigma of otherness
