VORTEX: Nine Days Before the Event | P4 Theater Archive

What happened in the public language around VORTEX before the event? This 2.5-minute archival context film follows six dated P4 / Beifeng Theater articles published between 3 and 11 March 2022. The sequence moves from an invitation and a black-hole metaphor toward self-exposure, the question of theater, and the idea that truth must be tested in events. NEW TO P4 THEATER?
