“A poetic, emotional and dreamlike experience in Dubai, the Samarkand of the 21st century”
A huge living installation, La Perle allows the spectator to participate in the performances of the 65 artists by filling the stage with sound, light and images projected from the stage.
La Perle is a fairy tale, addressed to all those who want to reawaken the child that lives inside them. The characters are inspired by traditional tales. A prince of pearls, a young fisherwoman, the
museum of ancestors and a giant puppet populate the story which remains faithful to the atmosphere of the spirit of Dubai but also refers to a universal time frame, where artists and spectators can confront their emotions.
Everything has been set up to allow the viewer to live experience a unique immersive experience, in an atmosphere deeply marked with the mystery and charm of Dubai, a laboratory of the future at the crossroads of cultures.

— Spotlight on theater
The 1300-seat water theater was designed by Jean Rabasse to allow the audience to live an immersive experience. This begins when you enter the theater,
with walls that are customized to create and mimic the feeling of a diving into an organic cave.
This intimate experience is
reinforced by the spectator’s proximity to the stage: a 270-degree vision and only 14 rows place the audience next to the water which is several meters deep and can
hold 2,700,000 liters of water. Located in the center of the stage, it allows scenic elements to emerge from it and is the recipient of a succession of high-flying dives.

FOCUS ON
Creation
Surrounded by an international team and artists from China, Franco Dragone wanted to bring the fluid movement of water, that lulls the old Dai stories and telluric forces of nature in a universal ode, to life. Characters were created and brought to life from the imagination of Dragon Studios illustrator, Martin Leroy, whose shimmering costumes, designed by Nicolas Vaudelet, reflect the mystery and depth.
“Humbly, we fed our imagination with Dai culture and built a unique artistic adventure on this fertile ground, on the water.”
