Le Rêve Las Vegas
Le Rêve is a dream to be experienced fully awake, with eyes wide open
2003-2004
Created by Franco Dragone
Performing at Wynn Las Vegas, the show features synchronized swimmers as they glide through the water, performing an elegant ballet.
Aerialists soar through the air and dip into the aquatic stage.
Huge nets rise from the water and high divers make the audience gasp as they plunge nearly 80 feet below. Dance, acrobatics, light and music are all part of the dream that is Le Rêve.
David Wirtgen Managed the load-in and load-out of one of the training facilities including a 35m/13m/3.5m pool for the Belgium pre-production time. He acquired his technical underwater certification in order to perform daily underwater maintenance on pool infrastructure, set pieces and props to be integrated later in the show.
Supervise and manage the training studio in all aspects to offer safe water-based training to the new performers and cast to prepare the creation phase in the Wynn theatre.
