Acrobatic performances packed with death-defying stunts, dances so beautiful they bring tears to the eyes of the audience, mesmerising light shows and elegantly exquisite music — all of these are just some of the magical experiences you’ll enjoy at La Perle Dubai.
What does this famous show have to offer? Is it worth the hype and ticket price? Here’s everything you need to know about La Perle by Dragone in Dubai.
WHAT IS LA PERLE BY DRAGONE?
La Perle by Dragone in Dubai is the brainchild of producer and legendary creative director Franco Dragone – known for theatrical masterpieces like Cirque du Soleil. Brought to Dubai by the Al Habtoor Group, La Perle Dubai is a visual masterpiece of immersive artistic performances, technology and imagery.
To describe it best, La Perle is all about Dubai, a city known for its desert safaris, skyscrapers and futuristic outlook, but also for its respect and reverence for its traditional past. La Perle is the first-of-its-kind resident show to be hosted anywhere in the MENA region.
THE PERFORMANCES
Be exhilarated by the performances of super-talented dancers, motorbike stunt riders and acrobats — the whole experience is extravagant, to say the least.
The show cleverly incorporates elements like whirling Turkish dervishes illuminating a blackened stage for a touch of the Middle East. Other performances include a Chinese lion dance featuring incredible leaps.
The show also features a series of vignettes that includes synchronised acrobatics, breathtaking projections and 25-metre dives into a pool at the centre of the stage.
With the unique water stage, hypnotic light shows and giant golden puppets, every performance is designed to leave a lasting impression on the audience.
THE VENUE AND STAGE
The La Perle show Dubai features a first-of-its-kind aqua theatre. The stage can transform from a dry to a wet setting almost instantly. There are cascading waterfalls and an on-stage pool in the centre of the auditorium, which is the show’s focal point.
Another highlight of this extraordinary theatre is that every part becomes a screen, from seats to walls, floors and even the building’s dome. These elements combine to create an atmosphere that can transform from a magical rainforest to a throne room within seconds. The 270-degree seating area offers an immersive experience to the viewers.
