La Abadia, 10th-12th Feburary 2023
Two performers from different continents meet live – for the first time – on screen. Two further performers are on stage in Madrid, interpreting their encounter. The Wall is a real time, unscripted conversation between people who cannot travel due to borders, laws and other barriers.
Each night a different encounter, never before played out, sparks a new relationship and a new adventure. An exploration of how intimacy and solidarity can be nurtured across thousands of miles of distance, The Wall seeks to defy the forces and the discourses that divide us.

”Thought-provoking and thrillingly experimental”
– B24/7
”All these pertinent and complex themes are presented in cross-continent conversations. It’s a highly unique and compelling live experience, blending fact as it happens with creative staging. The Wall is thought provoking and moving but also funny and warm. It might sound like a strange experience, but this is definitely worth watching. It’s one of those experiences that will keep you thinking and asking questions long after it’s finished.”
– Backstage Bristol
