Chester Performs 'Up The Wall' Event

UP

THE

WALL 

The ancient City Walls in a new light.

Chester is a walled city and its wall is inescapable... 

Home, shelter and source of security or symbolic divide, fortress or personal prison?

From Israel to Belfast, Berlin to Chester a group of UK and international artists come together to explore what walls mean to them.Interactive digital graffiti... trumpets heralding the fall of Jericho... divided families digitally rejoined... Lady Macbeth haunting the turrets...

Up the Wall is an evening of images, sounds, animated journeys and performances - thought-provoking, playful or downright bizarre, in a whole new focus on an ancient construct.
