www.livedesignonline.com: Performed in a tailor-made 2,000-seat ‘Dancing Water’ Theatre at the City of Dreams entertainment complex in Macau, by a cast of nearly 100 international artists, the spectacle combines water stunts, acrobatics, aerial arts and theatre. Behind-the-scenes, an army of 160 technicians, production staff and scuba divers work tirelessly to ensure the twice-nightly show runs seamlessly.

I always love going to amusement parks like Disneyland, or the Bellagio in Las Vegas, to see water and projected light interact. It amazes me that water can be sprayed a certain way so that it creates a canvas for images to appear on. It is especially crazy when the movement of the water complements the movement of the video that is being projected. Stories can be told, and it all comes from a body of water that is stagnant most of the time. “The House of Dancing Water” looks like such a high maintenance show, and I have so much respect for the people who make it happen. On top of all of that, it is a sign of good business that they chose to shift the ways in which they use projectors to keep up with the ever changing technological scene. Also, I just have to note that the performers are really brave to not only do gravity-defying stunts, but to do them while drenched in and surrounded by water.
