ABOUT
The experience was anchored in the raw beauty of the desert. We selected Bab Al Shams for its organic topography, transforming its natural landscape into a bespoke amphitheater. The visual centerpiece featured dual 10m x 7m screens showcasing a 30- minute cinematic journey through the UAE’s most pristine nature reserves. To bring these visuals to life, we collaborated with world-renowned VJ artist Soichi Matsumoto, who performed a live, rhythmic deconstruction of the footage to sync with the evening’s pulse.
The auditory landscape was equally curated: a “Contemporary Arabic Jazz” commission featuring Emma Smith (Hot Chip) and Andy Davies (Ronnie Scott’s)—artists chosen for their virtuosity and commitment to sustainability. In a breathtaking finale, we choreographed the sacred movements of Istanbul’s Whirling Dervishes into a modern light show. Every element was a deliberate bridge between authentic Arabian heritage and cutting-edge innovation, designed to forge a deep, emotional resonance with every guest.
