Performed in 'Within the Wall'
Why Wall? Why border? Why divide? For centuries, all over the world, people have chosen to build walls to separate their land from another. Some walls are built to keep them out, and some to keep you in. Some walls are put in place to keep the peace, but can peace be kept by force? Our piece explores these barriers, what the wall means to those it divides and how bricks and mortar can control your life. The children of the borders, the incredible escapes, and the endless life behind barriers. As free citizens, able to travel throughout this country and others, can we imagine life in the shadow of the wall?
