Inès, Estelle, and Garcin have only suspicions about why they have ended up together in this hell: a room without windows and mirrors. Tower-high walled in, only occasionally visited by a quirky waiter. An outside? Not here. Even the eyelids have grown tired; the place threatens with continuous wakefulness, without the redeeming “black flashes” of blinking. Why have these three people, who have never met in life, been crammed together here? What guilt has brought them here? Do they already hold the torture tools for the others in their hands, without knowing it?

Jean-Paul Sartre's classic of existentialism, premiered in 1944 in Paris under the rule of the Nazis, is not only a key work for understanding Sartre's philosophy of freedom, which revolves around the question of how the gazes of others define us against our will. GESCHLOSSENE GESELLSCHAFT is also a play about uncertainty, about being trapped and isolation, about a changed perception of time that lays heavily over people and things in a present stretched into eternity. In this respect, it has stored valuable knowledge in which we surprisingly find ourselves in retrospect to the past years.
