DUBAI, 13 August — Dubai offers a red-carpet welcome to children at this year’s Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS). Children have an amazing range of shows and performances that they can choose from. At the selected venues, these performances delight children with their ingenuity, outstanding skills, and laughter and fun. Capturing the imagination of all children, the shows at the Modhesh Auditorium in Modhesh Fun City (MFC), the most frequented DSS attraction, are created around the central idea that children form all backgrounds can have a good time in MFC. The shows are drawn from several themes and feature such international hits as the Power Puff Girls, Tweenies, Barney, Nickelodeon show, as well as interactive stage shows with DSS mascot Modhesh and Arabic language plays. Three new ethereal events that have come to Dubai’s malls this time are the Wonder Talent Show, the Circus Show and the Mini Puppet Show. Brilliant and perfect high-impact costumes give the shows a classy touch. More shows like these await children at DSS until Aug. 30. (AN)
