The scale alone is striking. The number of productions has grown to 55, totaling around 1,500 minutes of continuous performance time — more than 24 hours of theatrical content. In practical terms, even a two- or three-day visit would not be enough to see everything. Rather than follow a linear itinerary, audiences are invited to embrace repetition, chance and rediscovery.

That philosophy is most vividly embodied in the newly introduced flagship production, Daguanxizhen, or Grand View Theater Array. Inside its labyrinth-like structure, more than 30 miniature performance spaces unfold simultaneously. Each one hosts a different micro-story, set in different eras and emotional worlds.
