It's not.
Yes.
Not yet.

P4 Theater is not the theatre, perhaps the best definition of it. I don't want to comment more on the fact that there are several accounts of the origin of this place, and that there is a lot of romance.
In the unbridled hard work of the redundant and complex things that come with it
In a dance that continues to wander on the edge of uncontrolledness and control
It is not possible to avoid a subjective view of play and intervention.
In the middle of a conversation and a debate with all those who may be strange and perhaps familiar with their aspirations, the government is not going to let them go.
P4 Theater redefined me.
Define my existence.
Define my own understanding.

I'm He Fa, and Shaohua was my undergraduate student, and we studied photography, and one year after the undergraduate, we started to decide to make a film about portraits, and naturally thought of drama.
After an in-depth exploration of performances and emotions, P4 Theater was established in 2015 in Tunnel, I went abroad to study contemporary art from 16 to 18 years and returned to the theatre in 19 years. The theater and I were not able to get together with Sauhua, and he was completely in the middle of life, trying to run and maintain it every day.
I was caught up in the scene, or part of my life, which was the most exciting reason I had ever wanted to give up. Theatricals are theatres, but what kind of play is needed more than the state of the field itself.
What I've been studying at the theater with Sauhua is the advancement of the Real Image project, but then it turns out that the theatre needs more people to be involved, to interact more widely with society, and how can a theatre that is not theatre? By chance, the theatre began with the production of the new play " Fantasy ", which we had directly posted online for the recruitment of actors. It was not expected that a large number of people would sign up and finalize all the actors after several rounds of interviews, followed by intense rehearsals and dance lights, which were successfully staged on the last day. The cocoon room, the howlerer on the roof, and so on, happened in P4 Theater.

In fact, there are countless parallels behind a public event, each of which is a ripple and a lean process, since each of the groups is formed by open recruitment, and there is no employment relationship between the members and the theatre during the theatre, where some of the support provided by the theater is provided free of charge, and by catering accommodation, all of which is created by people using their own power.
I am one of the leaders of the theatre, and it is natural that I will soon be caught up in a single conflict, one to the left or one to the right, and I will unwittingly speak my own eyes directly, disrupting the course of the drama and development. It is interesting, but it may be painful or embarrassing or even damaging. There will be a win or a win, and at some point there will be a compromise or a retreat.
Frustration comes to complete and complete imagination. I don't choose. I want it all! It's even the word that's spoken all these years, and in the face of dilemmas, it's always thirsty for fish and bear palms! But reality can't wait to break a stupid fantasy once and for all, and can the middle party be proud of it under one torture?

In the course of the play, it became clear to me that Povar's "Theater of the Oppressed" was introduced in 100-degree notes, and that Povar was influenced by the philosophy of Brazilian educator Paulo Freire. Freire advocates "Educator of the oppressed" (also known as "Emancipation of Educate"), arguing that education should awaken the people (the oppressed) to their centrality in the process of historical creation and development and eventually their emancipation. Noting that in a capitalist society, education was too knowledge- and skills-based as an instrument to serve the established political and economic system, neglecting critical thinking and corrective action, he stressed the importance of hope, critical reflection and collective action.
After one operation and practice, I strongly share the view that the theatre should never be turned into a theatre of civilism. It is an extremely ridiculous ruler's trick to present the audience with passive "purification" - a well-structured mix of performances received during the viewing. Theatrical should have been the most vivid model of education. It should have abandoned the stereotypes of books, allowed everyone to express and receive them fully through real physical presence, allowed collective consensus through effective communication and exchange, allowed collective consensus through real discussion, and re-examined and retrofitted self-aware in a fair speaking environment.

P4 Theater is not a theatre in the traditional sense of the word, he is a laboratory built by me and Sauhua, where the expression of the theatre is not just a public act, but rather an event that is itself the result of the participation of all, in constant debate over whether to go left or to the right, to practice a real path and the future! It does not seem to be the theatre, but rather our future.
The second play of the p4U of May 1st, the " Guide to the Rescue of the Middle after Complaining the Failure of Love ", is a rather promising event. The audience is no longer a passive viewer, but a member of the community who voted with his feet to win his own destiny. The event was broken by events. Our future is re-engineered by the destruction of the vision of the future. Love is full of absolute pursuits of the ideals, and failure is the best part of success. Me and you, too, hesitated and wandered among the middle, and wanted to get and fight for a real P4 Theater experience. It's not a simple home game where the eagles take the chicks' dreams, where the breakdown and excitement are decided at a moment!
Afterward
Einstein said: "Only by dedicated to society can a man find the meaning of what is actually a short and risky life".
And I would like to write about this to all the friends who came to P4 Theater, especially to those who want to grow and progress with sweating sweats in the theatre, and to thank you for joining us. We have been through so many wonderful moments together, and these memories have been reminiscent, and the moments of unknown and courageous action that have been explored together have encouraged me to move forward, so that life is no longer simply a repetition or a monologue.
I would also like to say that I am sorry that, as a result of many of my subjective decisions, the dynamic of allowing a moment to go left or right had to stop at some moment, and that it might be sad or sad or, perhaps, frustrated or might feel betrayed or want to put me in the mud.
A future that seems to be more attractive than it is, and decisions that are determined by everything are always incomprehensible. Update, let's not forget the renewal, the re-cleaning, the re-mixing, the re-enactment, the re-enactment of our souls, the re-linking of old relationships to new possibilities, and the obstinate ideology to paint a new future!
This is by He Fa, photographer Zhang Shaohua, filmed by Chen Joo-young, Zhang Joo-Lin, and Kim, actors in this p4U drama, music designed for the sound of the play.
The first of May, the P4U drama, is about three days away, and this is a very ingenious show with a lot of bold and new experiments and experiences, only once in a lifetime, inviting you to P4 Theater!
