Taboo – Macau Entertainment
As a premier leisure and entertainment destination in Macau, City of Dreams has always prided itself on offering world-class entertainment experiences to visitors from around the globe. Following the announcement by City of Dreams last week on the premiere and exclusive limited run of a new fabulous performance, Taboo, this summer, anticipation of the public has been piqued as demonstrated in the keen interest in a sneak peek of this taboo-shattering entertainment extraordinaire. To unveil this riveting event filled with stunning surprises, City of Dreams held a press briefing yesterday at Club Cubic, the stage of this glamorous performance, during which several cast members shared their experience in preparation highlighted by an exclusive preview of astonishing acts from the show.
Taboo is yet another truly marvelous creation by the renowned master Mr. Franco Dragone. This electrifying performance combines tantalizingly sensual choreography and thrilling acrobatic artistry as well as an exciting interactive theatre component, enacted by a global team of around 20 of the world’s top performers within their specific artistic field. When the artists presented the taboo-shattering exclusive preview of the show at the press event, Club Cubic was instantly transformed into a showroom where cabaret fuses with the world of Franco Dragone. The sneak preview featured enchanting scenes in which the artists portrayed sensual desires through sophisticated performances, conveying temptation with a hint of sexual arousal, expanding conventional limits while inspiring naughty and naughtier imaginations.
Among the performers of Taboo who shared their experience at the sneak preview are: Lucky Hell, the only female sword-swallowing performance artist from Finland; Jennlee Shallow, the mezzo soprano with a range across three octaves who participated in the world tour of the musical “Lion King”; and Stephen Williams, a British aerial strap artist. All three performers agreed that they are very honored to work at City of Dreams, a vibrant environment with many innovative entertainment elements, and to be led by the world-famous Franco Dragone in a performance that challenges the conventions of sight and senses to their limit. At the same time, they are also looking forward to creating visually arresting entertainment as they share the stage with the other performers. They intend to bring the fabulous cabaret show experience, which has long captivated Europe, to China, Hong Kong and Macau.
Mr. Lawrence Ho, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Crown Entertainment said, “Fabulous entertainment has always been the core of City of Dreams. Following the sensational success of ‘The House of Dancing Water’, it is our pleasure to work with Franco once again to create Taboo, another new dimension in entertainment. It is our long-term goal to contribute to position Macau as a world-class center of cutting edge entertainment. By bringing this new exclusive performance to town, we are creating greater diversity in Macau’s tourism while stimulating more visits to the city. We very much look forward to hosting the global premiere and exclusive limited run of Taboo this summer.”
Mr. Franco Dragone, Founder of Franco Dragone Entertainment Group said, “I am proud to present my first cabaret show and am grateful for Lawrence’s vision and confidence, providing me the perfect innovative platform to realize my creative vision. This stunning and mesmerizing show will definitely arouse the senses and sensual desire of the audience, delivering an experience you will not find elsewhere in the world.”
