Berlin, august 1990.
The Wall fell just a few short days ago. In an atmosphere of incredulity, relief and temporary insanity, the theatre companies Dogtroep from Amsterdam and Licedei from Moscow perform the theatrical spectacle 'No-W-All'. The Transformer plays a signature role in the performance.

A 10-metre long, sluggish train on giant wooden wheels rolls onto the stage area, propelled by the exertions of a group of workers. Long, thick ropes are uncoiled, and men dig their heels into the sand. Swept up by the music and the audience, the gruelling pulling begins; groaning, the train slowly rises on its end, metamorphosing into a proud tower. The Transformer.
