DESCRIPTION:

What do the Western Wall and the wall of your favorite coffee place have in common?
And between the Berlin Wall and the wall behind which your neighbors live? What can unite all the walls in this world with one meaning? Regardless of their location on the map and the original purpose of their creation?
Observers of history, witnesses of human destiny, tools of communication, protection, violence, limiters on the physical level and in our minds - all these are WALLS we have built for ourselves, which sooner or later we try to break down. But is it really necessary?
The Reactive Dance Play The Wall is a collaboration between choreographer Illia Miroshnichenko and sound-artist Heinali (Oleg Shpudeiko).
The perfomance explores the archetype of the wall in its various manifestations, including the wall as an obstacle in communication between dance and music.

With the help of a reactive surface and a modular synthesizer, dancers create music, and music, in turn, forms the movements of the dancers.
The production refers to a series of situations which are built around the idea of the wall and borrowed from history, religion, myths and personal experiences.
