** THE WALL **
** ALL PROCEEDS TO RELAY FOR LIFE **

On July 21 1990, nine months after the dismantlement of the Berlin Wall, Roger Waters and an all-star cast performed "The Wall" at the Potzdamer Platz in Berlin. The performance was watched by a live audience of 250,000 and an estimated half-billion people on television…

And now, an international team of artists working with the Cybernetic Art Research Project (CARP) bring a unique vision and live performance of "The Wall" to Second Life ™...

All five performances at the previous venue filled the sim and it became necessary to move the show to a bigger venue - a 4-sim Amphitheatre. The next two performance filled three sims each, 140 people per performance! And the sim-filling continues as word of this great SL production spreads...
