[2] The company, previously based in La Louvière, Belgium, has created in excess of forty "permanent shows", in addition to events in more than 12 countries across Europe, the Middle East, in the United States, South America and Asia.
[9] "Décrocher la lune" is an event organised by Dragone, which seeks to combine entertainment and social concerns in a manner which includes participatory action by the community.
[11] Created in 2004, the Festival 5 sur 5 offered young directors from around the world to express their point of view on La Louvière through short films.
[21] The shows are intricately developed by various teams within the company, including the following units: Casting, Talents & Trends, Architecture & Design, Illustration and Video, Costumes.
[33] For the artistic director Franco Dragone, La Perle is intended to present Dubai as “a laboratory of the future where people of diverse cultures create something spectacular together”.
[37] Created, designed and developed in La Louvière and rehearsed in Alfacam's studios,[38] near Antwerp, Belgium, marked the beginning of a new milestone in the history of Dragone: the entry into Asia.
This first show on Chinese soil came about after a meeting between Franco Dragone and Lawrence Ho, co-chairman and CEO of Melco Crown Entertainment,[39] which will open a new resort “City of Dreams”.
In the process, the company is implementing a completely new type of contract and of an unprecedented scale with the powerful Dalian Wanda Group, the Chinese leader in commercial real estate development, luxury hotels and cultural industry, and chaired by Wang Jianlin.
[44] At the beginning of each performance the 2000 spectators discover the swimming pool, which holds 10 million liters of water, hidden under the stage thanks to a unique system that allows the seats to move, modifying the configuration of the room.
[48] This is the traditional beneficial energy that fueled the show and inspired the construction of its theater[49] in Xishuangbanna, southwest China, on the border with Burma and Laos.
While the main company is venturing into new challenges such as cabaret, touring shows with singers, lyrical art (training, opera creation)[52] or the artistic direction of theme parks.
Mixing sophisticated and sensual choreography with sexy acrobatic performances, Taboo invited the audience to a mischievous trip to “Cubic”, the Cabaret set up in the heart of Macau's City of Dreams complex.
[54] The biggest names in Cabaret and Burlesque contributed to the fame of Taboo, such as Dita Von Teese and the Bluebell Girls from the Lido in Paris.
For this creation entitled “Я” (Me), the 30 songs of the show were all revisited to breathe new life into Kirkorov's popular hits, without betraying their original spirit, deeply rooted in the Russian soul.
For Dragone, this opportunity allowed him to develop a creative concept, characters, performances and a world where the visitor, as the viewer on other stages, is invited to enter the park and experience their own legend.
