KHALAF AHMAD AL HABTOOR FOUNDING CHAIRMAN AL HABTOOR GROUP “I am delighted to bring such an innovative production to Dubai. La Perle marks the first permanent theatre of its kind from Las Vegas to Macau.

La Perle will seal Dubai’s position as an entertainment hub drawing in hundreds of thousands of theatrelovers each year. It showcases some of the best talent from around the world and the theatre itself is a work of art. It combines the best of technology with world-class human performance. The Al Habtoor Group is proud to be a part of the La Perle journey.”

Al Habtoor Group LLC, headquartered in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is one of the region’s largest and most respected conglomerates.

Founded in 1970 by Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, the Group has grown in unison with the UAE and today has a diverse portfolio of successful businesses operating in key sectors of the economy (hospitality, automotive, real estate, education and publishing).

FRANCO DRAGONE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR “La Perle is the pretext, and the opportunity of an encounter between spectators, travelers from all around the world, and the world’s best artists, also coming from the four corners of the planet, between tradition and technology, between water and the desert.

An encounter crystallized in an exceptional, never seen before theatre, a metaphor of Dubai.

La Perle is an experience: poetic, emotional and dreamy, weaved by creative and sophisticated innovations.

La Perle is a visual poem, made of emotions and dreams, composed of the most refined fabric of technical and creative innovation, where the best workers have brought their talent, under the inspiring and benevolent gaze of Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor and Mohammed Khalaf Al Habtoor.”

Today one of the world’s most sought-after artistic directors, Franco Dragone is renowned for having invented a new genre in the 1980’s and 90’s. The shows he created during his early days (Saltimbanco, Quidam, Mystère, Alegria, O) forever changed the face of live entertainment in Las Vegas and, decades later, these shows still receive nightly standing ovations.

A surprising, spectacular & captivating invitation to dream It all starts with a very banal situation. Imagine that you are seated on a public bench and that someone has forgotten a small puppet.

Who knows, maybe a child who was passing by? Some magic may happen every day and every second of your life.

Trapped in the fantastic and immersive Al Habtoor Theatre, a young girl suddenly finds herself embarked on an incredible journey from a public bench to another universe.

Is she lost?

Is she living a dream?

Is it her imagination that is playing tricks on her?

Who are these strange characters and creatures around her?

An extraordinary and incredible adventure that can happen to anyone of us.

Guided by a tiny King (the puppet), the young girl is going to find herself propelled into fantastic worlds and situations. Soaring from planet to planet, she is going to live the most incredible and most unusual experiences.

Fortunately, she rediscovers her hero who will protect her form the bad and evil during her epic travel and quest to save the pearls of the world.

FROM SKETCH TO STAGE THE CREATION PROCESS

01

01 AL HABTOOR THEATRE The 1300-seat water theater was designed 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.

02

02 STATE-OF-THE-ART STAGE 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.
