With Lime Auditioning Actors

With Lime is producing is an experimental four projection video installation combining theatre, butoh, and video, designed for museums and galleries that will be presented in late 2011. We are deconstructing the play Huis Clos/No Exit on several different levels and we need talented actors to make this work.

Synopsis:

Three damned souls, Garcin, Inez, and Estelle are brought to the same room in hell by a mysterious Valet. They had all expected medieval torture devices to punish them for eternity, but instead find a plain room. None of them will admit the reason for their damnation: Garcin says that he was executed for being a pacifist, while Estelle insists that a mistake has been made.

Inez however, demands that they all stop lying to themselves and confess to their crimes. She refuses to believe that they all ended up in the room by accident and soon realizes that they have been placed together to make each other miserable. 

We are looking for Garcin and a Valet
