The Vienna Burgtheater production No Exit premiered in 2022 and was invited to the Bregenz Festival in the same year. The play has received countless enthusiastic feedback and positive reviews. No Exit is a reproduction of Jean-Paul Sartre’s existentialist classic NO EXIT, which was first performed in Paris in 1944. It is a key work to understanding Sartre’s philosophy of freedom and revolves around themes of captivity, isolation, and the altered perception of time that envelops things when the present is extended to an eternity. The Synopsis of the play is that Inèz, Estelle, and Garcin can only guess as to why they ended up here–in a room somewhere beyond life, without windows or mirrors, and with no way of switching off the light. Surrounded by tower-high walls, their only other contact is with a bizarre valet. Outside? There is no outside. Is this the ultimate hell? The director Martin Kušej is one of the ten characters who have had a significant impact on German drama since the millennium. No Exit will be premiered in Asia at Theater Young from 8-9 June.
