"I don't make lists when I go to the grocery store. Instead, I
leave a physical representation of what I need on the counter top. But even
then, the new object can never quite match what it is attempting to replace. It
can never translate perfectly. And that's why I keep its empty twin."
Quint, in "The Salt Girl" by John Kuntz
The MIP
Symposium presents the novel opportunity to see a one-man play performed by its
author, award-winning playwright and actor John Kuntz, followed by discussion
led by three prominent psychoanalysts.
"The Salt
Girl" presents multiple dynamic issues, including the quest for meaning in life
after traumatic loss, the use of complex identifications to maintain connection
and cope with alienation, and the significance of mundane objects of day-to-day
life to represent more profound meanings necessary for life.
We will
follow Quint, our protagonist, as new events evoke the past, and as he uses what
knowledge, memory, and language he has access to in making sense of his
life.

About The Salt Girl
"I'm not sure I could
pinpoint one detail of this thrilling play that could define its perfection, but
as my companion and I agreed, we would be forever changed for having seen
it...The Salt Girl is masterful." Boston Theatre Review, 2009
"It is an intense,
involving, fascinating experience." The Theatre Mirror, New England's Live
Theatre Guide, 2009 by Larry Stark
""The Salt Girl'' is a
meditation on the power of that big, wounding, and inescapable question: What
if? Kuntz explores that question with arresting originality." The Boston
Globe, Don Aucoin, November 2009
