About the show:


No suffering, no executioner. There is only this musician, observing them unseen. Very quickly, the proximity becomes suffocating. The music harasses. The monstrosity within each of them awakens. Estelle, Garcin, and Inès understand: Hell is already here .


Press : 

Critical Zone: "Like the opening credits of a Tim Burton film, the aesthetics are very polished and completely deliberate. 'The Egg or the Human' sets the bar very high. They appropriate Sartre's classic with great finesse, intelligence, and beauty."


Place to be: “A bold choice. It has to be said that it works, once the initial surprise of the idea has passed. One of the very good ideas is having reversed the genders of the actors. This reverses the power dynamics and creates an interesting tension. A real success.”.


The Theatregoer: “No Exit, a fantastic musical! When Sartre meets music, the result is dazzling. The songs are written and performed with great taste, a rock version of Sartre's work. I was very moved during the curtain call. I felt a great sincerity and a wonderful camaraderie among the cast.”


Mr. N: “This perilous exercise is brilliantly accomplished by the actors. Valentin Santes’ compositions are beautiful and melodious; all three are absolutely talented, strong, and intense in their performances and in conveying their emotions and anxieties to the audience. A daring and totally successful adaptation.”


Spectacles Moments: “A theatrical and musical gem that plunges the spectator into the heart of a mysterious, unsettling, and captivating atmosphere, blending theatre and music, between suspense and poetry. A suspended moment in the theatre.”


Take your seat: “An emotional experience not to be missed under any circumstances. A performance that captures the spirit of the times. The infernal triangle is examined and tortured under the delighted and captivated gaze of the audience. Our ears are tossed about by the power of original, effective, and magnificently performed songs. We leave shaken and with our heads full of captivating melodies.”


Musical Avenue: “An intimate, unsettling and effective staging. 14 catchy, intoxicating, mysterious tracks. A trio as captivating as it is talented.”
