Theaters

A theater is built to hold absence — a stage emptied nightly, seats vacated on schedule — and the filings suggest some venues keep a residue of their own. Reports cluster predictably: figures in balconies and box seats, footsteps on empty boards, a presence attributed to a performer, a patron or a name nobody can source. The dossiers record who filed what and where it was said to happen; they do not review the performance.
