On the occasion of ‘Guillermo Kuitca,’ the Argentine artist’s first exhibition at Hauser & Wirth in Los Angeles, please join us for a staged reading of Jean-Paul Sartre’s masterpiece ‘No Exit’ by the celebrated LA theater company The Actors’ Gang.
Taking inspiration from Kuitca’s enduring connection to theatre and drawing from his latest series, ‘The Family Idiot,’ the reading of Sartre’s historic play will examine the claustrophobia of eternal confinement between three strangers, ultimately resulting in a commentary of the human condition that seeks to deepen our understanding of Kuitca’s powerful new body of work.
This performance marks the second collaboration between Hauser & Wirth and The Actors’ Gang.
‘No Exit’ by Jean-Paul Sartre
Directed by Brian Finney
Performed by Pierre Adeli, Hannah Chodos, Cihan Sahin, Paulette Zubata
Approximate running time 1 hour 15 minutes
