Abstract

The article focuses on Jean-Paul Sartre's experience of performing his original Nativity play, "Bariona, or the Son of Thunder," in a Nazi prisoner-of-war camp during Christmas Eve of 1940. Topics include Sartre's Christian existentialism, the play's plot centered around resistance against Nazi tyranny, and the philosophical themes of free will and existential choices embodied by the characters.
