In a night where myth met modern mastery. Dubai once again asserted its position as a global capital of culture and creativity.
The iconic Al Wasl Plaza at Expo City Dubai, was the center to the culture event. With its world-renowned 360-degree projection dome, became the canvas for a spectacle that redefined immersive storytelling: HOLIGUARD FIRE.

Their battle for universal supremacy unfolded through breathtaking choreography. Traditional Georgian dance and acrobatic feats, all masterfully staged against an awe-inspiring technological backdrop.
Visionary Minds Behind the Magic
The production of HOLIGUARD FIRE is the result of an exceptional collaboration between Lado Okhotnikov, CEO of Holiverse, and Bachana Chanturia, the Creative Director creative director of a dance team.

The Soundtrack of Emotion
Enhancing the night’s dramatic intensity was a live performance by acclaimed British pianist Stephen Ridley.
Renowned for his emotionally charged, genre-defying compositions, Ridley’s music gave every battle, every triumph and every loss a human pulse, making the myth feel immediate and real.
