Summary of Le Reve
For those of you who think you’ve seen it all, the Wynn has an answer: Le Reve and Avenue Q. To put it more simply, we’re talking about womb-reminiscent waterscapes and swearing puppets. In French, Le Reve means "the dream," and this show is all about the way dreams can take us on a journey where anything can happen. This isn’t as saccharine as it seems – dreams can be dark and moody, as well as light and happy. Staged in and above an enormous water tank, the show features swimmers and acrobats who turn the water into a magical ether. Created by former Cirque du Soleil maestro Franco Dragone, Le Reve is Dragone’s attempt at creating a more intense form of drama than he felt Cirque was capable of. Just as Dragone intended, Le Reve hits your emotions harder than Cirque shows – you laugh, you feel, you dream, and that’s the point. Le Reve is something Esther Williams would never have imagined, and that’s probably a good thing for today’s audiences. The musicians are cleverly hidden, mannequins hang from the ceiling, and there are plenty of laughs, courtesy of aquatic clowns. Performed in an intimate setting where no seat is more than 40 feet from the action, it’s breathtaking and dream-worthy.
