VORTEX

漩涡

Developed by Northwind Theater in early 2022 through roughly one month of collective creation, VORTEX moved between personal material, embodied action and group discussion. This archive distinguishes the 19–20 February rehearsal fragments and the 5 March film version from the complete public performance on 12 March.

VORTEX | Film Version | 5 March 2022

The surviving film-version and development-period camera record made in an underground parking garage in Beijing on 5 March 2022. Three recovered 4K sources are joined in capture order, with the 3:45 overlap between the second and third source included once. It is not the complete record of the 12 March public performance.
