Bring a shared text or film into a gathering

The 2023 invitation to read Mythologies asks each person to choose or randomly draw a section and read it with others. Associations, insights and possible methods of practice can be shared along the way. Relatively independent chapters allow participants to enter the discussion from different starting points.

A call in the same year invites people to a screening and exchange around Sátántangó. The 2021 record of the P4 screening series preserves an earlier point in this history. These titles and dates connect reading and viewing with the possibility of gathering around something specific.

Follow the format before choosing a route

Read these materials through their formats: a whole book or a selected passage, a screening alone or time for exchange, and the kinds of response invited. A shared object gives strangers a starting point, while the conversation is made through the work of those present.

Begin with a book or film invitation, then follow other activities and writing from the same period. This keeps each gathering’s content distinct while showing how a theatre space can also accommodate reading, screenings and everyday conversation.
