What first drew me to Walls (Arena) was the repetitiveness and the stubborness of the performance. The dancers relentlessly throw themselves against the wall, and in so doing present a mad view of the world as a place of non-communication, of indifference, of interference, of hostility. This dystopia is a lot closer to a real presentation of the urban experience than any of us would like to admit; it says many important things about the human condition – its decay, its lack of community, its rampant individualism, its competitiveness.
