The Soirée, inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre’s play entitled No Exit is a tantalizing piece of work on the edge of theater and dance. Three people, two socialites and a lizard-like seducer gather in a suburban room, which may well possibly turn out to be hell itself. Gradually, as relationships build and dissolve, the trio realize that they are trapped with their obsessions and with each other forever.

“Composer Philippe Heritier’s intriguing and witty music fits the choreography, which merges acrobatics, classical ballet, and comedy in the style of Buster Keaton, beautifully.” John Linklater

The Soirée won the International Critique’s Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Scotland on Sunday’s Prize for Best Dance Production and the Independent’s Special Prize for Theatre.
