SL Morse performs "No Exit by Jean Paul Sartre" in an evening of performances as part of The Lab's "Code-Switchers" exhibition. This incarnation of SL Morse is Aurora Josephson (voice), Sarah Lockhart (drums), Suki O'Kane (percussion).

Masterminded by drummer/conceptual artist, Sarah Lockhart, SL Morse translates literary works into music via morse code, resulting in a performance focused on both interpreting the literary text and creating aesthetically interesting music. This piece contends with the play’s premise of three individuals condemned to hell, to be eternally emotionally tortured by the others, as well as the thematic elements of rejection and the unquenchable desire for revenge.
