Next year in Dubai the first local permanent art show with the participation of international aerialists and dancers will be launched.
The world-wide known Belgian - Italian artistic director Franco Dragone created La Perle, a water themed show that will be located at Habtoor City. La Perle will have more than 450 shows a year in a contemporary theatre which has 1,300 seats.
70 dedicated operators will support the show with aerial and water daredevil stuns at La Perle aqua-show, encouraged by customs of Arabia and the Dubai city’s modernity. Here you can find the “aqua-stage”, filled with million liters of water and equipped with hydraulic lifts.
A custom-built playhouse. 65 artists with the support of 70 specialized assistants show numerous aqua and aquatic aerial performances. 2.5 million liters of water. More than 450 shows per year in a tailor-made state-of-the-art aqua-theatre in Dubai.
There is a giant pool furnished with a diversity of fountains and hydraulic lifts that change the ‘aqua-stage’ from a dry platform to an aquatic platform, and vice versa.
Do you want to know what La Perle aqua-show involves? You can expect performers flying over the audience on powerful winches, and also diving into the platform, filled with water, from heights of 35 meters.
