Geschlossene Gesellschaft

In the organizer's words:

by Jean Paul Sartre

Who imagines the afterlife, let alone hell, as a spartanly furnished room with a quirky waiter?

In the famous play "Closed Society", Sartre brings three people together in an inescapable confined space. They are all guilty of something, yet even as "dead people" they have retained their illusion, vanity and cunning.
But is that of any use to them? What is important now?
Is there still respect, trust, perhaps even affection? What drives the three of them and what drives them? Lots of questions!

The waiter is happy to provide insight.

---

They created such an oppressive unbearableness of tormenting and being tormented that the audience could feel it. [...]

The stage design, convincing precisely because of its simplicity, allowed the performers to unfold their full potential. Every muscle movement gained significance, as nothing distracted the audience from the impressive facial expressions. The auditorium was filled to capacity, the performance was sold out and the premiere of "Geschlossene Gesellschaft" in Hamburg's Kellertheater [...] was greeted with storms of enthusiasm from the audience.
