00:00One of the most highly anticipated venues to open in Dubai is nearing its final stage

00:08of construction.

00:09Le Pearl by Dragoon is going to be a permanent showcase here in Dubai and will feature acrobatic

00:14stunts, jaw-dropping aqua theatre design and unforgettable underwater and aerial performances.

00:20We need to heal the soul.

00:23We want at the end of the show the people to make a relief.

00:28It's the suspension of the time.

00:31They come in and already to come in it's not easy because they have to decide to leave

00:38their home or another film or TV or activity and then they come.

00:45So from the first step here we will have to bring them into the show.

00:50So it's more an experience.

00:53It's not just a show that we are witnessing.

00:56It has to be an experience we go through like you know a car in a car wash it comes

01:03dirty and goes out clean.

01:06We want just to heal the soul.

01:09We want to give to the people an experience.

01:11The theatre itself will feature an aqua stage filled with 2.7 million litres of water and

01:16will have the ability to change from a dry platform to aquatic stage and vice versa.

01:22We are making a special stage that you will see the whole floor and the whole ceiling

01:27change.

01:28We have different stages coming up and down the machine full full and then there is no

01:34pool disappear like something like people I don't think anybody saw it before.

01:39The cast and crew are hard at work perfecting their parts for the show and are excited to

01:43be a fixture here in Dubai.

01:44Yes, there's a lot of pressure to make this show the best it can be but all of us as artists

01:51this is our life this is our whole existence is creating art for people and to be able

01:58to have the opportunity to give this city something new is amazing and it's a dream

02:04come true.

02:05I'm a flyer so I'll be doing things in the air flipping soaring across the stage and

02:12I also do contortion and hand balancing and hand to hand so there's a lot of different

02:18skills I'll be showing in the show.

02:20La Perle will preview in mid-2017 with 450 performances a year, 10 performances a week.

02:26Tickets will range from 399 dirhams to 699 dirhams with VIP seats also available.
