Culture vultures in the capital have even more to look forward to after a world-renowned dance company announced an upcoming tribute to the UAE.
Pilobolus, the troupe behind the upcoming Shadowland performance, announced a grand finale specially designed as a tribute to the country during its inaugural shows.
“In addition to adjusting our show out of respect for local cultural differences, Pilobolus has created a special finale for the show in honour of our UAE audience, which we leave as a surprise for those who attend,” explained Michael Tracy, Pilobolus artistic director.
“While Pilobolus has travelled the world performing for over 40 years, this is the first time this cast will perform in the UAE and we are particularly looking forward to meeting new people, eating good food and learning about the local culture while we’re there,” added Tracy.
The award-winning show is billed as a mix of theatre, dance, circus and concert. Created in collaboration with the lead writer of SpongeBob SquarePants, Steven Banks, the cast of nine dancers use the art of light and movement to tell the story of a young girl’s surreal dream world.
“This is the original shadow theatre which has wowed almost half a million international theatre-goers and Abu Dhabi audiences can expect a colourful, big, entertaining and completely wacky evening,” said Sia S Far, CFO and managing partner, Alchemy Project-Entertainment.
Shadowland hits the stage as part of Abu Dhabi Summer Season from 8th to 16th August. Tickets are available from AED 150. For more information or tickets visit: www.alchemy-project.com
