Dubai Shopping Festival's Entertainment at Global Village Set to Amaze Visitors

Street Performers, The Silly People, Acrobatic Performers, and Chinese Unicyclists, will keep shoppers entertained throughout Dubai Shopping Festival exclusively at Global Village

Dubai, 9 January, 2014: Global Village, Dubai's leading family entertainment and cultural destination, is making the Dubai Shopping Festival experience for visitors all the more entertaining with a special set of shows from Canada's very own Silly People and the exciting Chinese Unicyclists act.

The Silly People will have the whole family laughing with their one of a kind street performance and eccentric sense of humour. The two award winning performers, Phil LeConte and Colin Franks, have travelled the globe performing in front of crowded theatres, at corporate events and in busy streets. The act is made up of comedy routines, juggling, yoyo skills, and a fantastic introduction to the Chinese yoyo – also known as a diabolo. The duo also performs a number of balloon art tricks that are particularly popular with children.

The Chinese Unicyclists are another award winning act to perform at Global Village, having won the 1st Class Golden Acrobatic Prize in China twice. The group was also one of the main entertainers at the Shanghai Expo 2010. The act revolves around six unicyclists balancing long enough to be able to throw a rice bowl from their foot to the head and catch it. The act takes place many feet off the ground making the enthralling acrobatics hard to look away from.

But in addition to these great performers Global Village is also a great place to shop during the current DSF at its multinational Pavilions, coupled with great dining options and a non-stop, exclusive entertainment program that will delight Dubai Shopping Festival visitors.
