Why am I doing The Wall again now?

by Roger Waters

I recently came across this quote of mine from 22 years ago:

”What it comes down to for me is this: Will the technologies of communication in our culture, serve to enlighten us and help us to understand one another better, or will they deceive us and keep us apart?”

I believe this is still a supremely relevant question and the jury is out.

There is a lot of commercial clutter on the net, and a lot of propaganda, but I have a sense that just beneath the surface understanding is gaining ground. We just have to keep blogging, keep twittering, keep communicating, keep sharing ideas.

30 Years ago when I wrote The Wall I was a frightened young man. Well not that young, I was 36 years old.

It took me a long time to get over my fears. Anyway, in the intervening years it has occurred to me that maybe the story of my fear and loss with it’s concomitant inevitable residue of ridicule, shame and punishment, provides an allegory for broader concerns.: Nationalism, racism, sexism, religion, Whatever! All these issues and ‘isms are driven by the same fears that drove my young life.

This new production of The Wall is an attempt to draw some comparisons, to illuminate our current predicament, and is dedicated to all the innocent lost in the intervening years.

In some quarters, among the chattering classes, there exists a cynical view that human beings as a collective are incapable of developing more ‘humane’ ie, kinder, more generous, more cooperative, more empathetic relationships with one another.

I disagree.

In my view it is too early in our story to leap to such a conclusion, we are after all a very young species.

I believe we have at least a chance to aspire to something better than the dog eat dog ritual slaughter that is our current response to our institutionalized fear of each other.

I feel it is my responsibility as an artist to express my, albeit guarded, optimism, and encourage others to do the same. To quote the great man, ” You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.”

Good luck, Roger, on the new production of “The Wall.” Hi, Yoko. No, you’re not the only ones.

I really love Roger´s arts… and I believe there is no such a thing like “the Wall” second part or making it again… I believe in making a contemporary version of the wall, the first one is completely valid because was made from the neurosis of a young man… and let me tell you the wall is excellent… but if you want to make a new expression of your self consider to name it from a different point of view.
And this is for Yoko… I LOVE ALL things you do, not because you were with Lennon, but you MADE him a man of love…
