Regalia – The Enchanted Forest

Presented on what is arguably one of the world's largest high-tech stages, Regalia – The Enchanted Forest is a romantic love story set in the mystical and magic forest of Regalia where, like in the island of Bali - a delicate balance is maintained between man, nature and the spiritual realm.

Directed by H. Peter Heckmann who, together with I Nyoman Sura and Sunny Soriano, scripted the spectacular, The Enchanted Forest promises to bedazzle and amaze with a quality of a music, dance, acrobatic feats and stagecraft formerly only available on stages in Las Vegas and other leading world capitals.

Among those appearing in the coming performance:

· Sunny Soriano - A Los Angeles-based aerialists who has shared stages with the Black-eyed Peas, Jason Mraz and Josh Groban. She has also performed on internationally televised presentation of The Grammy Awards.

Dancing professionally since the age of four, a move to Los Angeles introduced her to circus performance – a world she now dominates as one of its leading contemporary exponents.

She has toured and performed in various live stage shows and at some of the biggest festivals and events in the world, such as the Coachella Music Festival (US )<and the Electric Picnic Festival (Ireland), as well as Cirque Du Soleil and National Academy of Recording Arts (Grammys) special events.

· Maximiliano Palacio – this exciting Argentinean performer makes his home in Los Angeles. A supreme athlete who excels in both Polo and Rugby, many will remember him in a supporting role on "Desperate Housewives."  A successful New York model, Palacio is a also a gifted thespian at home in both comedic and Shakespearean roles.

It was while hosting his own hit show 12 Corozones with Penelope Menchaca that Maximiliano began acrobatic dance training with Soriano, a turn in his career he took with remarkable ease due to his innate athleticism.

· Orlando Bassi - engaged to design costumes and stage effects for the Bali show, his works have complemented a number of productions including:  Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, 10.000BC and Legend of the Seeker.

A Spectacle Like No Other

The international cast of fifty-two eclectic and awe-inspiring acrobatic performers, dancers, singers and musicians are certain to enchant Bali audiences during a powerful, action-packed seventy-five minute theatrical encounter.
