A project connects different kinds of work
The founding invitation describes Theatre Public Toilet as an imagined space to be built together and records support from P4 Theater and Beifeng Theatre Revolution. It proposes a relationship that people can enter, rather than only announcing a venue whose form is already fixed.
The Spiral Staircase announcement names Jiang Haizhu as writer, director and performer. It credits P4 with production support and the Chongwenmenwai social-service organisation centre with venue support. Personal creation, collective practice and institutional support meet through these distinct contributions.

Follow how the practice continues in later records
The later invitation to co-create in a workshop on solo expression and theatre provides another point of entry. Read it beside the founding invitation and performance announcement to follow how a network of support accompanies different activities over time.
For a first encounter, note who proposes a project, who creates it, who supports production and where it happens. Following people and later records from there allows the relationships to unfold while keeping the work’s own name and initiator in view.
