The story of the play "Chongqing 1949" is set on the eve of the liberation of Chongqing, with Ciqikou as the center, and multiple main lines are performed in parallel.
Located in the Ciqikou Ancient Town scenic area of Shapingba District, Chongqing, the Chongqing 1949 Grand Theatre is a large-scale live-action theatre specifically designed for the production of "Chongqing 1949." It is also the world's first single-unit indoor theatre. With a total floor area of 25,000 square meters and a building height of 28.6 meters, the Chongqing 1949 Grand Theatre can accommodate 1,497 spectators.
Set on the eve of Chongqing's liberation in 1949, "Chongqing 1949" tells the story of "the numerous Communist Party members imprisoned in Zhazidong and Baigongguan, who endured numerous tortures, persevering and refusing to yield," recreating the grand scene of the liberation and defense of Chongqing. The story unfolds on the very day Chongqing was liberated. A group of revolutionary heroes, upholding their great ideals and lofty beliefs, fell on the road to dawn, amid the sound of gunfire as Chongqing was liberated. They sacrificed their precious lives for the cause of the Chinese people's liberation, thus embodying the 'Red Rock Spirit.'" This is a grand work that embodies the requirements for literary and artistic works to possess strength, morality, and warmth, striving to showcase the beauty of faith and the sublime. It is a historical drama dedicated to the contemporary mission of "promoting the Red Rock Spirit and inheriting the Red Gene." "Chongqing 1949" presents a new interpretation of the "Red Rock Classic" from a broader dimension of time and space. At the same time, different narrative scenes are presented in multiple dimensions, forming a spatial artistic conception with a montage interpretation method, allowing the audience to receive a spiritual baptism of red culture through extremely shocking immersive experience and comprehensive, three-dimensional sensory impact.
