To mark the October 1, 2009 sixtieth birthday of the People’s Republic of China, eager
crowds of Chinese citizens jostle through walkway tunnels under the moat surrounding the
titanium-and-glass domed National Grand Theatre. They have come to watch “Road of
Renaissance,” a Broadway style show produced by the Communist Party.
In the theatre complex known as “The Egg,” some 3,200 performers sing and dance their
way through 170 years of Chinese history – from the mid-1800s Opium Wars, to the 1930s
Japanese invasion, to the 1949 founding of the PRC and the 2008 Beijing Olympics – in an
explosive spectacle of propaganda wrapped in high-tech stagecraft.
