How can we use different languages and still communicate? How can a project speak about the missing dialog of our time? In collective authorship, sixteen performers create a sculpture of sound, dance and voices throughout the museum space. A sculpture in motion, reminiscent of the Tower of Babel. The audience decide for themselves where to direct their gaze and their hearing. They can follow the movements or stay put and listen to the babble of voices. An encounter in the space of the Berlinische Galerie.

"A Sky Like A Wall" is a collaboration between the dancers of the Dance On Ensemble, the musicians of the Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop and the author and performance artist Rabih Mroué.
