UPDATE: This was a proscenium show. Not sure if something changed because of the venue, but it wasn’t what we were pitched. — Noah Nelson
Three acrobats test the limits of human connection in a confined space with no words and no exit. Inspired by Jean Paul Sartre’s masterpiece ‘No Exit,’ THREE is a kinetic theatre experience packed with adrenaline and a slick soundtrack.
Inspired by French playwright Jean Paul Sartre’s existential masterpiece No Exit, THREE places our unsuspecting trio in an isolated room where they await their eternal fates. In a wordless adaptation, acrobatics replace language as the three discover that they’re in hell, and their torturers are each other. As Sartre writes, “hell is other people.”
The show is wordless, so it is also appropriate for hard of hearing, deaf, or English as a second language audiences.
