Hello,

Bristol’s Tobacco Factory Theatres have joined forces with Madrid’s Fundación Teatro de La Abadia to produce a new theatre experience that brings together performers from all over the world.

Working with artists across four continents, The Wall is a real-time, unscripted conversation between performers who cannot travel to Bristol due to borders, laws and other barriers.

The Wall will run at Tobacco Factory Theatres in Bristol from Wednesday 22 to Friday 24 February, following its world-premiere in Madrid, It will feature two performers from different countries who will meet live on screen from their homes. While in Bristol, live on stage, two further performers will be interpreting their encounter and stories, which aim to shed a light on the issues which are keeping them apart.

Each night different international performers will experience a fresh encounter with the live actors on stage in Bristol, sparking a new relationship and a new adventure at each performance.

The brainchild of Spanish theatre-maker Juan Ayala, The Wall will be an exploration of how intimacy and solidarity can be nurtured across thousands of miles of distance, defying the forces and the discourses that divide us.
