FREEJ FOLKLORE costumes are ready! The designs are inspired by the legendary characters they are made for. Check out the Um Al Duwais dress -- all decked out in Swarovski crystals. Styled in the shape of a dagger around the waist, it's shaped like a 1950's princess ball gown, covered in crystals to create the illusion of blood drops trickling down the dress.
Um Al Duwais comes from UAE folk tales - she's the ultimate temptress, extremely attractive and graceful. But she's a demon that lures men to their peril. Even today, the name Um Al Duwais is used to refer to women who wear intense make-up to seduce men.
FREEJ FOLKLORE is a breathtaking combination of dance, music, animation and theatre that presents the audience with a magnificent celebration of Arab culture and history.
FREEJ FOLKLORE will premier prior to the Dubai Shopping Festival 2009 and run from January 8th until January 17th, 2009. Don't forget to check out our official website - FREEJ FOLKLORE.
