DRAGONE Unveils Le Rêve at Wynn Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, Nevada, February 23/PRNewswire/ -- The highly anticipated signature show from the DRAGONE Company to launch Wynn Las Vegas will be called: Le Rêve. "A small collection of imperfect dreams."

Following their extremely successful partnership over the last 10 years, visionaries Steve Wynn and internationally acclaimed director Franco Dragone ('O', Mystère, Celine Dion. ANew Day), are reuniting once more to reinvent the Las Vegas landscape. Le Rêve (French for The Dream) will have the World Premier on May 6th at Wynn Las Vegas, a new Resort which will symbolize luxury and elegance situated on the 217 acre site of the legendary Desert Inn.

The aquatic spectacular will be performed in a remarkable purpose built domed theater designed by DRAGONE. Constructed "in the round," the first of its kind in Las Vegas, the farthest seat in the 14 rows is just 40 feet from the action creating a uniquely intimate and personal theater-going experience which surrounds, involves and embraces the spectators.

"My aim with Le Rêve is to create an entirely new universe, to transport everyone into a world where the theater, performance and audience become one and the same reality," says Franco. "To take them on a journey that through their consciousness touches the emotions in a way that is different and goes further than anything I have done before. To provoke memories and communicate to the audience the fragility of humanity."

"Stones and stars are our sisters" continues Franco paraphrasing Hubert Reeves, "life is short but our race is forever and we all have a responsibility to preserve the links in the chain of life."

Believing that we never dream completely, are never awake completely; are never totally happy or sad, DRAGONE is presenting "a small collection of imperfect dreams" that question our place in the universe through a completely new form of staging and artistic performance, where the theater and water are alive with a translucent energy.

And so, this is the inspiration behind Le Rêve, a new and once again innovative direction in the approach of Franco Dragone.

A very special cast of artists and characters has been discovered from around the globe and will bring this beautiful theater to life twice a night.

Ten shows will be performed each week at 7:30 pm and 10:30 pm, with dark days on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Tickets which are all "center stage" are priced at $110 plus tax and will be on sale to hotel guests from March 29th.
