This weekend, you can taste rock and culture over an outing. Plus, you can stop by to express your gratitude at an installation, which pays an ode to the heroes of the pandemic-stricken world.
Let’s rock
If you’re dining at The Pointe, then you can watch the uniquely choreographed ‘ELVIS’ fountain show over a meal. Get transported to the rocking ‘50s and get moving to the show set to Presley’s hit Jailhouse Rock, in celebration of the release of the movie, ELVIS. The rock ‘n’ roll classic has been added to The Palm Fountain’s playlist of world-class performances for the next three months.
Every hour, every day 7pm to midnight
An ode to the heroes
Stop by to pay an ode to the tireless work of the heroes via an art installation that celebrates frontline workers who risked their lives to help others during the Covid-19 pandemic. The sculpture conveys a message through art: of hope, compassion and selflessness throughout the global pandemic. The unique life-size art installation was designed by the Kart Group, and comprises 17 panels that come together to create a tableau of a police officer, first aider, nurse, doctor, volunteer and cleaner. The multi-layered celebratory art installation can only be seen in its entirety from a single vantage point. From other angles, spectators will only see a large 90-square-metre abstract composition. The installation is hand-hewn from styrofoam and the textured veneer gives weight to the otherwise lightweight and voluminous sculpture.
