From contortionist rabbits, acrobatic bird, a live card band and a crazy tea party, the famous, much-loved Lewis Carroll classic Alice in Wonderland will come to life like never before this DSS at BurJuman.
United Arab Emirates: Monday, June 11 – 2012
Set to a foot tapping musical score, the ‘Alice in Wonderland Cirque stage show’ is the highlight of BurJuman’s family entertainment line-up this DSS. The high energy act featuring all your favourite characters such as Alice, the Dormouse, Mad Hatter, March Hare and the Queen of Hearts will weave music, song and fun dance choreography into a dazzling cirque style performance.
The 30 minute show will be performed twice a day from June 21st – 30th, at 6.15pm and 7.45pm, followed by a 15-minute Meet & Greet session after each show. The exciting production brought to life by CMart Worldwide (cmartworldwide.com) brings together an international performing cast of 13 dancers, singers and acrobats who are sure to set the stage alight with their magical movements.
“The colourful ensemble production seemed just perfect to represent the spirit of family fun and excitement that characterizes DSS. We are very excited about this new production and its staging during summer is perfectly timed to coincide with the school vacation, giving more kids the chance to catch the performance. The show will undoubtedly be a huge hit with the kids as well as with everyone who watches it, as the acrobatic performances and choreographed dance sequences are just amazing,” says Sabina Khandwani, Head of Marketing and PR at BurJuman.
Visitors can also look forward to a visit to an authentic Moroccan medina being recreated in the mall from July 3rd – 19th. Special tents will be constructed across the North and South Village, selling a wide range of Moroccan items, such as sweets, home wares – including Moroccan furniture and artifacts ranging from tables, mirrors, sofas and fountains, colourful ceramic ware and geometric tiles, aromatic spices and herbs, mkebs, henna and clothing. Shoppers will also be able to get a little taste of Morocco at the Moroccan Café in the South Village, or stop for a sweet cup of Morocco’s famed mint tea at the Tea Oasis at the Observatory. Live music and weekend folkloric performances will complete the atmosphere filled with the ‘Wonders of Morocco’.

Showcasing 20 of his finest photographic images covering life, people, architecture, health and community topics, each photograph has a powerful visual story to tell.
