Doors Shut

Presented by Temperance Hall 2019

​A modern day, Melbourne contemporary dancer’s take on No Exit by Jean Paul Satre.

Three collaborators are stuck in a moment and they can't get out of it. 

Alice, Will and Caroline have died. In Hell, they must take a long hard introspective look at themselves.

Fed up with the Byzantine conflicts of their collaboration, these dance artists thought a pivot to modernist theatre might help them walk away from the troubles in their lives. They were wrong, and now they are stuck in a moment and they can’t get out of it.

Hell is a play acted by dancers with you in the audience.
