The House of Dancing Water
“An extraordinary magical kingdom”
Performing in the tailor made 2,000-seat Dancing Water Theater, by a cast of nearly 100 international artists, The House of Dancing Water is a spectacular love story that transcends time and space.
The show is set in an extraordinary magical kingdom that takes audiences on an awe-inspiring and emotional journey.
The show incorporates mesmerizing special effects, dazzling costumes and visual treats with the most breathtaking acrobatics, artistic and aerial performances. The House of Dancing Water has received rave reviews by audiences and critics alike and has been hailed as one of the most imaginative theatrical extravaganzas ever produced
A technical and architectural prowess
Created by the Pei architectural firm of New York (which has in particular the Louvre Pyramid in Paris to its name) and by designers of the show, this theatre is more than just a theatre:
It is a real showcase through which to discover the gems emanating from the imagination and the creativity of the Dragone team.

FOCUS ON
Creation
The House of Dancing Water took 4 years to bring to life. Costumes, video projections, special effects, acrobatics – no details were spared by Dragone’s team when crafting the spectacle that now appears on stage nightly. Our dialogue with water started with a handful of talented, creative designers.
