The venue contains a 'water stage' that features deep pools and hydraulic lifts capable of creating artificial rain and waterfalls.
The pool depth can be adjusted dynamically during the performance to accommodate different types of acrobatics.
The performers execute high-dives from a height of up to 25 meters.
The theater is designed with 1,300 seats arranged in a way that no viewer is further than 20 meters from the center stage.
The production uses high-speed winches that allow artists to fly across the auditorium at speeds reaching 15 kilometers per hour.
The stage floor is capable of supporting heavy scenery that rises from underneath the water level.
La Perle by Dragone is a permanent aqua-theatre show located in the heart of Dubai, featuring a cast of 65 international artists. The stage utilizes 2.7 million liters of water, which can drain in seconds to transform the arena floor. The show blends aerial stunts, acrobatics, and aquatic displays through a 270-degree seating configuration. It was created by director Franco Dragone, known for his previous work with Cirque du Soleil. The performance space is purpose-built to incorporate high-tech light, sound, and projection mapping technologies. Guests experience a narrative performance that fuses Dubai’s cultural heritage with futuristic artistic elements.
