Watch the work.
Keep its conditions visible.
Films, rehearsal footage and photographs are not detached illustrations. Each record remains connected to a project, a date, its original page and the people who made the situation possible.
To interpret what these records document, begin with the main-site P4 Theater profile. Its place within the wider field is addressed separately in the guide to Chinese experimental theater; this page keeps P4’s moving images connected to the works and moments around them.
