Acrobats are made to perform 25 metre high dives toward the Central pool, while at the same time, at the press of a button, the stage instantly floods with 3 million liters of water.

The show’s artistic director, Tara Young, claims that this was exactly the purpose of what they wanted to do in the Middle East.
