Le Rêve was the first production show to open in the Wynn Las Vegas casino resort. It is set in a one million-gallon water capacity theater and features diving and feats of strength with state-of-the-art special effects, where no seat is more than 40 feet from the stage. The production was created by Franco Dragone and is similar to the shows produced by Cirque du Soleil. Dragone, who was the director behind O, La Nouba, Mystère, Alegría and Quidam,
Le Rêve was the working name of the resort before it was changed to Wynn Las Vegas. "Le Rêve" means "The Dream" in French, and is the name of the centerpiece painting that Steve Wynn owns, Le Rêve by Picasso.
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.
