Feast on comedy, fantasy and music with the DSS creation House of Illusions.
Welcome to the House of Ill-uuuu-shans" howls an eerie voice as you step in to the smoky Spiegeltent at Dubai Festival City.
The '20s-esque marquee
made from wood, stained glass and mirrors is the home of a Dubai Summer
Surprises family show of illusions, comedy and live music, served with
fantastic food.
If the very mention of magic makes you queasy with excitement or scepticism, a trip to the show is worth your while.
"We wanted to do
something unique, it is a creation that is hard to describe," says
award-winning, Tony-nominated director Derek Scott.
Scott says the House
of Illusions, a show specially created for DSS, is incomparable to
anything Dubai has seen: In between disappearing illusionists, bottles
appearing out of thin air and a tauntingly hilarious clown, guests are
served a three-course meal by waiters more attentive than those in the
Beauty and the Beast crockery sequence.
The House of Illusions
features Romany, the diva of mystery, who has performed for the Queen
of England. She is joined by the international illusionist Andrew Van
Buren and local Arabic band Breeze.
As you enjoy the
culinary delights of Dish Catering, you can expect to be thrilled by
the magic of Romany, who goes from table to table performing rope and
card tricks.
The show also caters
for children with a kids' menu available for kids between 4 and 12
years (children under 4 are not allowed).
