Ahmad Sukkar performed his fictional tale about walls at the faculty of architecture in Damascus University, and the department of architecture at the International University for Science and Technology. An audience of more than 200 attended each performance, which took place during his visit to Damascus at the end of 2009.
The story is entitled Ḍijrit minnī al-Ḥīṭān: Ilā Judrān Fairūz wa Zaha wa Ummī wa Scheherazade (Walls are Bored with Me: To the Walls of Fairuz, Zaha, my Mother, and Scheherazade). It is about a student of architecture turning into a wall and questioning his identity in relation to topics such as art, politics, gender, and spirituality. During his metamorphosis, he recalls events of his childhood, sayings of his mother, and attitudes of his grandmother towards walls. He questions architectural issues such as what he considers an architectural fail of Zaha Hadid, the most famous female architect in the history of architecture. The main Arabic title of the tale and the show is borrowed from a popular song of Fairūz, the Arabic diva and ambassador to stars. In addition to three of her songs in which she mentions walls, Classical music is included in the text and played during the performance which ends with a piece about Scheherazade, the legendary Eastern storyteller of One Thousand and One Nights. Walled theatrical stage with spot lighting was specially built for the show and power point presentation about theoretical issues related to walls went together with it. The tale is in the process of publishing in Arabic and English magazines of architecture and literature.
