“Tutti Arts - The Shouting Fence – Promotional Flyer"

Tutti Arts and State Opera of South Australia ‘The Shouting Fence’ 2009 Promotional Flyer - reads, in part "The production has been devised so that the audience becomes the barrier between the two communities, thus allowing them to witness the emotional turmoil experienced when close-knit communities are forcefully separated, as well as reinforcing the divisive and destructive nature of the 'fence' itself. The Shouting Fence importantly highlights the human needs of communication, mutual love, and the frustrations of not being able to physically connect."

Tutti Arts and State Opera of South Australia ‘The Shouting Fence’ 2009 Promotional Card - reads, in part "'The Shouting Fence' is about real events in the village of Majdal Shams on the Israel-Syrian border, which was divided by a stretch of no-man's-land during the war, and where the separated occupants shouted news to each other across the divide. Every Friday evening they were allowed to gather on either side of the fence to converse. To hear each other they communicated across fifty metres of no-man's land."
