“Outside, facing the city, the arena displays a lifeless wall: inside is a wall of people. The spectators turn their backs to the city. They have been lifted out of its structure of walls and streets and, for the duration of their time in the arena, they do not care about anything that happens there; they have left behind all of their associations, rules, and habits”. - Elias Canetti in ‘Crowds and Power’
