DXB LIVE, the experiential agency of the Dubai World Trade Centre Theatre, will host two performances of One Thousand Nights and a Wedding with Al Ahli Dubai Theatre on June 7 and 8, during Eid Al Adha.

One Thousand Nights and a Wedding is a rich tapestry of comedy, drama, and music while celebrating traditions that transcend generations. Al Ahli Dubai Theater uses their artistic production to demonstrate the balance between important family traditions and the reality experienced by the youth of today.

The production blends ancient tales with a modern social commentary of life in the UAE.

The comeback of Emirati theater is being spearheaded by DXB LIVE who are working on a comprehensive 2025 calendar, to boost recognition of Emirati theatre, support Emirati art and highlight the talents of young Emirati actors.  

"At DXB LIVE it’s important to us that we cater to Dubai’s diverse global community of residents and visitors," Khalid Al Hammadi, executive vice president of Dubai World Trade Centre, said.

"While we ensure that we curate a comprehensive events agenda, populated with entertainment on both a commercial and public level, it’s necessary that we support Emirati theater, local artists and highlight the modern social realities faced in the UAE and beyond," he said.

Tickets are available online at Platinumlist.
