The Theater reimagines its iconic show LIFE for a blazing summer run
This summer, The Theater is turning up the heat with a twist on their signature show LIFE with FEEL THE HEAT – LIFE Summer Edition.
It's a seasonal spin on LIFE: a Theatrical Journey Through Existence, the bold production that's made The Theater one of Dubai's top spots for dinner and a show. And just like the original, this summer edition isn't here to play it safe.
Expect jaw-dropping choreography, powerhouse vocals and those gravity-defying acrobatics they do so well. Of course, it wouldn't be The Theater without those signature immersive moments that blur the line between what's happening on stage and what's happening around you. It's glitzy, dramatic, packed with surprises and we love it.
Lebanese musician and composer Guy Manoukian, the ever-magnetic maestro, sets the tone for every twist and turn of the story beautifully with the live music.
Alongside him is Maria Khomenko, bringing an electric energy that fills the stage and spills into every corner of the room. The space itself adds to the drama – with its lush velvet curtains, rich red interiors and mood-lit tables, stepping into The Theater feels like walking into another world.
There are two ways to enjoy The Theater's dining options – one is to have a curated dinner and the second is to chill in the lounge with something cool in hand. Either way, you're well taken care of with dishes that are plated like works of art, made with premium ingredients and served with a side of performance.
If you love being wowed by talent on the stage, take out your diaries and block out a date for a visit.

Cabello's pals Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, Jessica Alba and Elle Fanning all hit the like button. This comes after Cabello and Chalhoub were seen kissing while in their swimsuits during a dip in the Balearic Sea in Ibiza, an island in Spain.

Before their trip to Ibiza, the couple were seen in Monaco at the Formula 1 races. Cabello and Chalhoub were first linked in November 2024 at an Elie Saab fashion show afterparty in Saudi Arabia. They sparked romance rumors when they were seen packing on the PDA as they frolicked in the ocean in St. Barts in January. The couple went to the pre-BAFTA Nominees party on February 15 in London.

That's not the kind of life I want to live.'

EIF bosses clash with city council over event permits
Organisers said they were "disappointed" at the outcome but hoped an upcoming review of licensing charges by the authority would bring costs down in future. City of [[Edinburgh]] Council's fee structure for public entertainment licences (PELs) - permits for events open to the [[pub]]lic required to ensure safety and compliance with regulations - provides discounts for some some groups including charities. However the council says this is not applied "where there is clear commercial activity". On Monday, less than two weeks before the start of the Edinburgh International Festival (EIF), councillors considered an application by the EIF Society, which is a registered charity, seeking a partial refund of licensing costs for events at the University of Edinburgh's Old College Quad and Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens. Read more The value of the discount sought was not made public, however PELs range from £1,454 for a venue with capacity of up to 200, to £5,808 for a capacity of up to 10,000. Lebanese-French dance company Maqamat are due to perform at the Old College Quad over four nights in August with tickets priced at £30. The Ross Bandstand will host a free 'big singalong' event featuring Dougie Maclean on August 3 to mark the start of festival season in Edinburgh, followed by Norwegian folk ensemble Barokksolistene alongside Scottish musician Donald Shaw and his ceilidh band the following night, costing £20 a head. Council reports by head of regulatory services, Andrew Mitchell, said these were ticketed events and the licensing department "understands that any monies raised will go back to the Society". He said charges for licence applications "are used to offset the significant costs which are incurred in dealing with licensing issues in the city". However a spokesperson for EIF said events at the Ross Bandstand and Edinburgh College Quad were not being run on a commercial basis "and will not generate a profit". They said: "They are deliberately programmed to engage a broader audience, with an average ticket price of just £25, and thousands of people will attend events in Princes Street Gardens completely free of charge. "As a registered charity, we operate on a not-for-profit basis and subsidise these events significantly to ensure wide public benefit. "Any reduction risks setting a precedent. However, the committee has the discretion to waive fees where it considers this appropriate." Councillors on the licensing sub-committee unanimously refused the fee reduction on the advice of officers. An International Festival spokesperson said: 'We're disappointed by the decision of the Licensing Sub-Committee. "We understand the basis for licensing charges will be reviewed at the upcoming Culture and Communities Committee meeting and we look forward to that discussion.' More from our Edinburgh correspondent It follows a decision by councillors last month to turn down a similar request by the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, also a charity, for a discount on its £18,163 PEL bill for fringe performances on the Mound Precinct and High Street. Officials said in a report published last month the Fringe Society was yet to pay its licensing fees and the council was "processing these applications without payment". They added: "This is not normal practice - irrespective of any request to reduce a fee, payment must be made at the time of application." They said the Society has paid commercial licensing application rates since at least 2012 and discounts "operates commercial arrangements whereby it allows other businesses to sell goods from stalls within the licensed footprint. "It is the understanding of the Directorate that these arrangements are strictly commercial."

I swapped keeping a diary for making playlists – turning songs into mini-time capsules
Towards the end of my last relationship, I acquired a portable speaker. The timing was fortuitous: there was little opportunity for it to become attached to happy or sad memories from my coupled life. It was one of the few shared objects I kept. And, though it felt awkward to walk away from our decade-long home with what looked like a black box, I was ready to start afresh with it. In my single life I learned the perks of having a speaker of one's own. An empty flat with an Ikea mattress and a secondhand fridge might seem dispiriting – until the right Wong Kar-wai soundtrack brought out its indie quality. Space Oddity took the edge off slow wifi days. And Talking Heads' Psycho Killer lent a certain je ne sais quoi to confrontations with inner-city cockroaches. It was nice to know that however grim things got I could still take charge of the ambience of my life. About the same time, I stopped writing in my diary. Rumination after heartbreak was draining and I couldn't bring myself to repeat the same loop on the page. Instead I became preoccupied with finding more music to fill my home. It was a season of expansion. I saved songs I heard while travelling, at parties, in bookshops and cafes. There were tracks I saved because of a band's name (Clams Casino); a single resonant line ('Give me everything I ever need, or just enough so I can go to sleep'); or feelings that I aspired to (meditative; calm; wildly joyful) but couldn't summon. It was thrilling to forage for different sounds from the outside world and feel I could change a mood at will. Soon I began archiving the music in monthly playlists. Sometimes the lists were short and nostalgic and made of songs I already knew. Others were full of new tracks that sent me down a rabbit hole of other discoveries. In those single years I thought often of a quote from Anne Carson's essay The Gender of Sound: 'Every sound we make is a bit of autobiography. It has a totally private interior yet its trajectory is public. A piece of inside projected to the outside.' I thought of the way my speaker bore witness to an utterly private autobiography. How there was satisfaction in projecting whatever sound I wanted and hearing a specific mood – visceral like a craving for salt or the sharpness of lemon – reflected back at me. While I could never bring myself to reread any of my diary entries, there was pleasure in revisiting some of the old playlists. Partly because they were records made without much self-consciousness. But more than that, they were a kind of note-taking that distilled the days into moods. When I listen now to the songs from any given month, I can tell whether I felt hopeful or glum, what TV shows or films I was obsessed with and, occasionally – when there were bands that didn't belong to my own taste – who I might have been dating at the time. I didn't anticipate just how potently individual songs could summon past experiences. I can't listen to Colleen's November without reliving a particular night in Petra, Jordan, walking through the streets with my best friend M. The path was dark, lit only by candlelight; the stars overhead shone outrageously bright. We walked side by side as the song played on my headphones. There was no hint of the sheer sandstone cliffs that surrounded us. Then, all of a sudden, the winding path opened: 3,000 people sat hushed on the ground, as a single flute player stood waiting to perform. The whole texture of the night is now woven into Colleen's song. Whenever I replay it I am transported back to that moment – not just the walk itself but what it felt like to be in M's company. Thanks to these time capsules, I find myself never truly alone. In the years I made my playlists, I went through many headphones but the speaker remained. Together we have lived in two countries and five homes, through singledom and new loves. For my birthday this year a new speaker the size of a small pound cake arrived in the mail. I'd told a close friend that my ancient machine was dying and, suspecting I may have trouble letting go of it, she took matters into her own hands. A week later I pulled my new speaker out of its box and sat it on top of the old one like a small totem. Two eras of my life together – no longer just a black box of a time in flux but part of an ongoing autobiography. Candice Chung is a freelance editor and writer.
