What to expect at Fontana?
Brought to the capital by the Lebanese group Cirque Du Liban, the aquatic show combines a thrilling mix of mind-bending illusions and astounding acrobatics. Expect to see awe-inspiring dancers, gravity-defying aerialists, and incredible circus thrills that will enthral the entire family.
If the pictures and videos from What’s On Dubai are anything to go by, this is going to be jaw-dropping.
Fontana seems to have it all – live entertainment, including trapeze artists, aerial hoop acts, motorcycle stunts, drummers, operatic singing and more, paired with captivating special effects and mesmerising water theatrics that accompany most of the acts.
But the centrepiece of the performance is the musical dancing fountain, as water jets and colourful lights dance together in sync with the music.
The amazing acts will leave you on the edge of your seat or hiding behind your hands. And the best part? The performance is family-friendly, so feel free to take the little ones with you.
Fontana by Cirque Du Liban, Sept 18 to Dec, 6pm to 9pm (the show starts at 7pm sharp), Fontana Circus, Al Mughrizat, Riyadh (next to Cenomi Al Nakheel Mall). Tickets start from SAR95 and can be purchased here. @fontanashow
