Slava’s Snowshow

The second week for one of the best seasonal shows around – a whimsical blur of laughter, awe, and magic that has already been seen by more than 12 million theatregoers in80 countries around the world, including a near sellout run at Dubai Opera last year.

Essentially it’s a group of clowns wearing green and one wearing yellow, in “a celebration of winter and snow”. But Slava Polunin, the show’s creator, has created something special from the fabric of dreams and fairy tales in a kaleidoscope of events, colours, sounds, “spaces” and “times”; combining breathtaking visuals, immersive stagecraft, and the famous snowstorm finale, it usually deloivers an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. As Variety put it, “Slava’s Snowshow is to clowning what Cirque du Soleil is to the circus … Slava’s Snowshow is as theatrical as it is simple, as involving as it is inspiring”.

Most shows start at 7pm, but there are weekend matinées; weekends carry a price premium, incidentally. The schedule:

Wed 22 Oct 7.30pm from AED 200
