About this experience
Dubai's Flagship Resident Aqua-Theatrical Show
Staged inside an 860-square-meter tailor-made theatre at Al Habtoor City, La Perle by Dragone is the region's first permanent theatrical production. Created by the legendary artistic director Franco Dragone, internationally celebrated for his visionary productions with Cirque du Soleil and Celine Dion, La Perle blends high-octane acrobatics with hypnotic visual arts.
A Stage That Transforms from Dry Floor to Deep Water
The centerpiece of the 1,300-seat theatre is a custom-engineered aquatic stage holding 2.7 million liters of water. In seconds, the stage floods with cascading waterfalls and torrents of rain, transforming into a deep pool where world-class athletes dive from heights of up to 25 meters, before instantly draining back to a bone-dry performance surface.
Breathtaking Acrobatics, Globe of Death, and Visual Poetry
A cast of 65 international performers from 23 countries delivers an electrifying 90-minute spectacle. From aerialists soaring on high-speed winches across the 270-degree auditorium to five motorcyclists defying gravity inside the metal Globe of Death, La Perle weaves a dreamlike narrative celebrating the Arabian Gulf's rich pearl diving heritage and futuristic energy.
