No Exit

No Exit takes place somewhere between human mortality and an unknown afterlife. The recently deceased characters are trapped in a room and forced to look back on their lives. They also see what happens as their memory fades.

The design choices were made to capture their transition between worlds. Where life on earth is in full, robust color and the afterlife fades to black and white. The walls only have color when the character's intense emotions are being reflected.

The characters have the ability to look back at Earth and what has happened in their absences. In my production they were physically represented by actors, instead of just referenced and imagined. These actors were dressed the most intensely representing life and the light that comes with it.

Finally the main three are still in color as they make their transition in to this world. It can be imagined that eventually they fully fade into black and white the same way they lose their sight of what is happening on Earth.
