When I was 15, I wrote a short play about the Berlin wall and performed in it with my classmates for a school festival. Now the wall has gone. Things can change - even things people think could never happen. Artists can break down walls or build bridges between cultures, little by little. I want to do that. Never give up and enjoy the time we have!
