Specifically, this project united No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre with the presentational form of theatre. The presentational form of theatre is a staging concept which uses minimal stage, set and other effects. The idea is that through this form a more involved aud­ ience is allowed to exist. It is a theatre of suggestion. The presentational form offers a skeletal setting from which an audience may complete their own images. This is in opposition to a representational form of theatre, which explicitly depicts the accoutrements of performance. The stage is seen as an encased and complete world. The v presentational form realizes a work in terms of time, space, and image; dimensions which cannot be limited to a stage. No Exit, as an existential play, draws upon the philosophy itself in terms of staging considerations. The cornerstone of Sartre's existentialism is that the individual must define and interpret for himself. To produce No Exit representationally is to deny the sense of the literature and thereby circumvent audience involvement. The project produced, in partial fulfillment of this thesis, has successfully provided evidence for the asser­ tion that No Exit should be performed presentationally. This may also serve as a basis for future implications concerning the presentational form and other existential plays. vi CHAPTER 1 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE ~D REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE Statement of Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the presentational form of theatre and the existential play No Exit, by Jean-Paul Sartre. Through an analysis of the form to the content, the rationale of pairing No Exit with presentational form was illustrated. Review of Literature Synopsis of No Exit Briefly, No Exit is a one-act play about three indi­ viduals: Garcin is a Parisian journalist and "coward," Inez is a postal worker and lesbian, and Estelle a French socialite and nymphomaniac. One by one, each character is escorted by a valet into a minimally furnished room (the set is simply three seats and a mantle). There are no mirrors or windows in this room. There is no need for sleep, food, or for the brushing of teeth. Garcin, Inez and Estelle are dead and have arrived in Hell. 1 2 Each character is surprised at the "ci~ility" of Hell. There are no red hot pincers, pitchforks, or thumbscrews: no inferno (although it is a bit stuffy). Upon the entrance of each character, they look for their torturer who will inflict some sort of heinous punishment on them. The dramatic action moves along mostly through the dialogue. Each character tries to figure out why they are landed here. They discuss their deaths. Garcin was executed for collaborating with the Germans and then fleeing the country after his arrest by the French authorities. Inez died from gas stove fumes at the hands of her lover Florence. Estelle died of pneumonia. Initially, each character, except for Inez, claims to have been wrongly ushered into Hell. Inez, however, admits that she was mean, cruel, and rotten on earth, particularly with regard to Florence. Eventually it is revealed that Garcin was dastardly to his wife. In particular, Garcin would bring "stray" women home with him and have his wife serve breakfast in bed. Estelle lived by using and discarding humans, even to the point of dropping her own baby from a balcony. She was also responsible for driving a lover to shoot his face off. Much of the personal information comes forth in visions of life on earth as it proceeds without them. These come to each character as visionary episodes. The only way in which.the passage of time is addressed during 3 the course of the drama is that the visions eventually fade, making the final break with the earthly world. Through character exchanges, dialogues, and earthly images, vital realizations are made by Garcin, Inez, and Estelle. Their arrivals in Hell are not accidental. Each person is responsible for their previous behavior and present circumstance. Eventually Garcin, Inez, and Estelle realize that Hell is forever and, "Hell is other people."l Each is the other's torturer. Estelle desires physical attention from Garcin (simply because he is the only available man}. Inez wants only Estelle and thor­ oughly resents Garcin's male presence. Garcin does not particularly care about Estelle, but is attracted to Inez, as she is unlike any woman he has ever met before. Inez will not permit him near her (unlike other women in Garcin's life and this intrigues Garcin}. He needs her respect. Of course, Garcin can never get Inez' respect as he is a man and coward; the two most detestable traits to Inez. Thus the circle of vitiated relationships is complete. As Inez explains, "They've made a saving in their hired help • • • The customers serve themselves. It's like a--a cafeteria (67}. Indeed, Garcin, Inez, and Estelle serve out generous portions of torture to each other. Inez tortures Garcin by refusing to respect him and making him admit his cowardice. Estelle rebukes Inez and chases passionately after Garcin. Garcin is receptive to Estelle's advances 4 only as a tool to hurt Inez: he believes that this is his only way to modify Inez' image of him as impotent. They are all three hopelessly linked together. There are no escapes from the room or each other. Although efforts are made to open the door through which each character entered into Hell, every attempt to open the door finds it stubbornly locked from the outside. How- ever, toward the end of the play the door easily opens for Garcin: Inez: Well Garcin? Go on. Garcin: I'm not going. Inez: And you Estelle? Well who's going? Which one of us three? The coast is clear. What's stopping us? Oh God, it's a scream! \>Je're inseperables (91). The above is a moment of abject horror in the play. None of the three of them leave because they realize, simultaneously, that they cannot. They are each in Hell mainly because of their inability to take responsibility for their own actions, and now they must remain in Hell because of the same character flaw. They must watch and be watched by the same eyes forever. There really is no exit. No Exit Epitomizes Sartre's Own Existentialism Since existentialism is nearly as diverse as the larger field of philosophy, it would be a severe disserv- ice to attempt a generic definition. It is much more 5 productive to discuss existentialism in terms of the individual philosopher. The existentialism of Kierke­ gaard, for example, differs from that of Heidegger.

Bering Queen’s University Just as there is remarkable continuity between the structures, abilities, and behaviors of closely related species, so too are there equally remarkable differences. Because only our species has evolved the social cognitive mechanisms that enable a heightened sensitivity to the minds of others, only our species suffers the psychological conse- quences.

ON VOYEURISM: BEING SEEN ON THE MODERN STAGE by MEGAN MOBLEY (Under the Direction of Dustin Anderson) ABSTRACT At the end of the nineteenth century, playwrights grew more interested in exploring the ramifications of the gaze, looking and being looked at. For existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, the gaze causes a never-ending battle between our subjective selves, how we view ourselves, and our objective selves, or how others view us. The knowledge of the Other’s gaze allows us to self- reflect on our own existence. Sartre and Oscar Wilde each incorporate the gaze into their plays to explore the battle between our subjective and objective selves, gendered perception, differences in perception, and to undercut or demonstrates the dominant structures of seeing. By first exploring Sartre’s No Exit, I can observe how Sartre’s three main characters demonstrate Mulvey’s theories of the male gaze, a structure of looking which is influenced by the dominant social order.

  • The Power of the Gaze in Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit
    1 Foucault‘s panoptic disciplinary power and torture: the power of the gaze in Jean-Paul Sartre‘s No Exit (1944) َظشيح فٕكٕ نقٕج اﻻَضثاط ٔانؼزاب انقائى ػهٗ ذطثيق ًَٕرج " انثإَتريكٌٕ": قٕج انُظشج انثاقثح فٗ يسشديح جٌٕ تٕل ساسذش " ﻻ يخشج" (1944) Presented by: Silvia Elias, PhD Lecturer at the Faculty of Languages and Translation, Department of English language, Pharos University, Alexandria, Egypt 2 Abstract The effect of the Panopticon – introduced by Bentham - is to induce in the inmate a state of permanent visibility/exposure that assures the automatic functioning of the observer‘s (in tower) power. The key lies in the sustained power of surveillance despite its discontinuity in action. It does not matter who exercises the power or the motive behind it, but the more conscious a person is of another person‘s presence: the more a person‘s freedom is threatened by feeling objectified. According to Michel Foucault, discipline is maintained without the need to use force to dictate a certain behavior due to the power of the gaze. Disciplinary power based on knowledge (power-knowledge) defines what is normal, acceptable or deviant. Thus, power becomes a source of social discipline and conformity. Consequently, microcosmic systems of surveillance used in schools or panoptic prisons for example no longer require force or violence. My paper uses Michel Foucault‘s book Discipline and Punish: the Birth of the Prison as its main theoretical framework and applies his theories to Sartre‘s masterpiece No Exit (1944). The play setting is an example of a panoptic prison that is described by its residents as inescapable hell, born from the need to derive validation and identity from others as long as they are the objects of each others‘ gaze.

  • Hell Is a Game Show: an Artistic Interpretation Of
    HELL IS A GAME SHOW: AN ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION OF THE AFTERLIFE ______________________________ A Thesis Presented to The Honors Tutorial College Ohio University _____________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation from the Honors Tutorial College with the degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film _____________________________ by Zachary Stoner May 2018 Stoner 1 “Hell is other people,” shouts Joseph Garcin in Jean-Paul Sartre’s 1944 play Huis Clos (No Exit). It was this sentiment that summarizes the entire play: man can never escape the judgment of others and in turn is always in the hell of his own self-judgment. It is this quote, in its various forms and parodies, that would come back to haunt me in ironic ways. But it was also this play that took me down the path that would eventually lead me to the creation of my film: Hell is a Game Show. This project starts before Sartre, with my junior year film Near Sighted: The Usually Alone Interview - specifically with a supporting actress by the name of Evie Weir. Her acting was smart and funny, a natural with the kind of dark comedy that I had become so fond of writing. There’s an old Hollywood expression that goes “directing is ninety percent casting,” and I planned to take that a step further and write my thesis film around a talented actress that had a great knowledge of the craft. I had just finished watching two dark comedies: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) and Seven Psychopaths (2012). Both feature comedy that relies heavily on horrible murder or torture.
