China News Service, Chongqing, February 24th (Reporter Zhong Yi) The original red dance drama "Blue Skirt" was staged at the Chongqing Grand Theater on the evening of the 23rd.
This play is produced by Beijing Poly Theater Management Co., Ltd., Beijing No. 56 Culture Media Co., Ltd., Beijing Dance Academy, and produced by Wuwu Liu Yan's Research Office.
This performance also kicked off the show's 2023 Poly Cinema Tour.
The story of the dance drama "Blue Skirt" took place in the 1940s, and the scene of the drama was set on a luxury passenger ship bound for Hong Kong from Shanghai.
The heroine Zhong Shan is a social celebrity on the surface, but her real identity is an underground CCP agent code-named "Blue Skirt".
She boarded the passenger ship with the important task of delivering the garbled translation of "Hao Mi", and risked her life to circle under the eyeliner and surveillance of the enemy.
With courage and wisdom, Zhong Shan finally completed the task of passing the code with her young life under the cover of her comrades-in-arms, and wrote an epic chapter without regrets.
