0:00:18 > 0:00:20DANNY BOYLE: So this is...
0:00:21 > 0:00:25So this is an extraordinary kind of, like, puzzle really, I suppose.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Because although its origins are prestigious, you know,
0:00:29 > 0:00:30he's obviously...
0:00:32 > 0:00:38..an incredible artist, its purpose and its outcome is unclear.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55It's really just like, in a way, the most obvious thing
0:00:55 > 0:00:58in the world is what he wants us to do, which is to stage
0:00:58 > 0:01:01a nativity play in Bethlehem.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05What school teacher wouldn't think that was a good idea,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07you know, for your school play?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10You think, "Oh, let's go and do it actually in Bethlehem."
0:01:10 > 0:01:16And so I think it's clear that, being the artist that he is,
0:01:16 > 0:01:20he wants that context, the pure context,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23to be not so pure, I would think.
0:01:28 > 0:01:34Because obviously his work is pictorial and two-dimensional,
0:01:34 > 0:01:40it's the placing of it that obviously gives it such context.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Here we go.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51It's a celebration as well as having some provocation in it,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53but I always imagine that the provocation would be
0:01:53 > 0:01:56the context of it being made here
0:01:56 > 0:02:00and how it was made in the shadow of the wall.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05It isn't going to be just like a school play.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09There will be a function of the evening
0:02:09 > 0:02:14that is beyond the automatic goodwill of a school play.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21It'll be very interesting to see how that resonates,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24to see what ripples come out from that, really.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Can't speak. - I'm speechless, actually.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25It was great, it was really good. And I tell you what was amazing...
0:18:25 > 0:18:28You didn't know whether any Palestinians would turn up,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31because they don't want to really sit by the wall.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02- They were just like this...- Yeah. - ..looking at everything.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05That was so, so cool. That was really nice.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32What I was pleased about - ALL of them performed.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Some of them, like, I know that they're very shy -
0:19:36 > 0:19:40they just, like, probably wouldn't think about acting.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43But they're, like, very happy they got to do it.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- When Elissa starts to sing... - Yeah. Oh, my God.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- ..it's just like... - It's beautiful, isn't it?
