How a La Perle Dubai show is produced

Dubai's La Perle was launched in September 2017 and features shows twice a day between Tuesday and Saturday – and it’s a grand spectacle to witness.

Created by theatre director Franco Dragone, La Perle is a 1,300-seater purpose-built aqua theatre that has a pool in the centrestage, which holds about 2 million litres of water. The show features 65 performers from 23 countries performing acts such as acrobatics, flying, aerial feats, diving and even motorcycles stunts that defy gravity.

The circular theatre, located in Dubai's Al Habtoor City, resembles an opera house design, where all the performances revolve around the 5-metre deep pool. Architecture firm, Khatib and Alami, worked closely with Dragone Studios on the design of the theatre.

La Perle boasts a draining system that can transform the stage from wet to dry in 90 seconds. The show has several performers appearing from and disappearing into the pool during the course of a 90-minute act. The effects that create micro bubbles in the pool hide the performers from audiences’s view. Since water is the main feature at the show, maintaining its quality is very important.
