Moderation: Summer Banks, improviser and Berlin English Improv Network founder. IN ENGLISH.

About the show:
No Exit
The unique format of this intimate, two-character improvised piece was inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre's now classic play Huis Clos, known in the English-speaking world as No Exit. Like the characters in Sartre's work, the actors in this format are stuck in a room: they must stay in the same place and events must unfold chronologically. Removing story-telling devices like flashbacks and changing locations focuses the story on the characters and their relationship. Lee White and Matthieu Loos premiered this English-language format in Toronto and then celebrated its critically-acclaimed European premiere in Leipzig in the spring. Berlin Premiere.
