French Performance - Huis Clois (No Exit)

Huis Clos (No Exit) - a 1944 existentialist French play by Jean-Paul Sartre. “Three damned souls, Garcin, Inez, and Estelle are brought to the same room in hell by a mysterious Valet. They had all expected medieval torture devices to punish them for eternity, but instead find a plain room furnished in Second Empire style. None of them will admit the reason for their damnation: Garcin says that he was executed for being a pacifist, while Estelle insists that a mistake has been made…”

The performance will be in French. Free and open to the public.  Sponsored by Lois ‘51 and J. Harvey Watson Department of French and Francophone Studies
