FEEL THE PULSE AT DUBAI OPERA A SENSATIONAL AWARD-WINNING SPECTACLE OF MOVEMENT, MUSIC, AND LIGHT
Dubai, UAE – April 2025
Dubai Opera is set to host a spectacular performance that redefines the boundaries of live entertainment. From May 9 to 11, 2025, audiences will witness the Dubai premiere of The Pulse, an award-winning production by the globally acclaimed Australian ensemble Gravity & Other Myths. Known for its raw physicality and emotive storytelling, The Pulse combines high-energy acrobatics, powerful choral music, and immersive lighting into a single, unforgettable theatrical experience.
Winner of three prestigious International Circus Awards—including Outstanding Production, Choreography, and Design—The Pulse brings together 18 acrobats and 25 live choir members in a breathtaking display of human strength, harmony, and resilience. Towering human pyramids collapse and rebuild in rhythmic motion, perfectly synchronized with a soaring musical score by Ekrem Eli Phoenix and striking light design by Geoff Cobham. The result is a mesmerizing performance that feels alive and ever-changing—an emotional and sensory experience that connects performers and audience on a profound level.
What makes The Pulse truly special is its ability to explore the themes of connection, cooperation, and shared human spirit. As voices and bodies intertwine on stage, the synergy between sound and movement evokes awe and wonder. It’s a performance that speaks to the heart while dazzling the senses. As Limelight’s Jansson J. Antmann noted, “the skill, artistry and daring on display is breathtaking.”
“This production is a landmark moment for Dubai Opera,” said Paolo Petrocelli, Head of Dubai Opera. “We are proud to present shows that are innovative, emotionally powerful, and culturally significant. The Pulse is all of these and more. It’s a bold expression of artistic excellence that brings together global talent in a way that leaves a lasting impact on every viewer. Hosting this extraordinary performance in Dubai reinforces our commitment to offering world-class cultural experiences to our audiences.”
Having captivated sold-out crowds across Australia and Europe, The Pulse now arrives in Dubai for a limited run. This is a rare opportunity for audiences in the UAE to experience one of the most innovative and visually compelling shows in the world of contemporary performance.
