The show marks the legendary Parisian cabaret’s first permanent production outside the French capital, bringing its distinctive approach to performance, choreography and lighting to Dubai.
Founded in 1951 by French artist and entrepreneur Alain Bernardin, Crazy Horse Paris has built its reputation on meticulously choreographed tableaux, in which dancers’ silhouettes interact with precisely orchestrated lighting, graphic projections, optical illusions and original music. Over more than 75 years, the cabaret has established a distinctive visual identity, collaborating with international names including Beyoncé, Christian Louboutin, Jean Paul Gaultier, Elie Saab, Dita Von Teese and Lisa from BLACKPINK.
Created specifically for Dubai, The Dubai Edition retains the artistic codes of the original Parisian institution while adapting its presentation to regional culture and customs. Under the artistic direction of Andrée Deissenberg, Chief Creative and Brand Officer of Crazy Horse Paris, the production features a cast of 18 international dancers selected from hundreds of applicants worldwide. The performers underwent six months of specialised training in Paris ahead of the opening.
“With The Dubai Edition, our objective was to create a show that is immediately identifiable as Crazy Horse Paris while developing a production specifically conceived for Dubai,” says Deissenberg. “It draws on our artistic heritage, visual language and creative precision, while introducing new elements adapted to the venue and its audience.”
The production will take place at Zabeel Theatre, an intimate 200-seat cabaret within Jumeirah Zabeel Saray. It is brought to Dubai and operated by 111 Management, a Dubai-based hospitality group specialising in food and beverage operations, investment, concept creation and brand growth.
Audiences can choose between two formats. The Show runs for 90 minutes, combining choreographed performances with a DJ and Master of Ceremonies. Alternatively, The Show & Dinner offers an approximately three-hour experience incorporating fine dining, caviar and signature beverages. Both formats extend beyond the final tableau, with a DJ set continuing the evening.
Tickets for The Dubai Edition are available at lecrazydubai.com, with prices starting at AED 400.
