In our adaptation of the works of existential Sartre, we set the background to the era of the Republic of China. Three imprisoned spirits, perpetually “chasing“ each other within the confines of the underworld, they inflict suffering each other, unable to obtain tranquility, or exit the relentless cycle — the state akin to being trapped in an eternal hell…

我们的戏改编自存在主义哲学家萨特的经典名剧No Exit。剧中三人因生前充满罪孽而死后坠入地狱，这一地狱却与他们想象中大相径庭。他们庆幸免于肉体刑罚，殊不知迎接他们的，是更残忍的永恒精神折磨……

与原剧不同的是，我们将故事背景搬到了民国晚期，时代的特殊性使每个人做出了自己的选择，也让人性的丑恶与扭曲被暴露得更加淋漓尽致。
