Theatre of Digital Art Reopens in Dubai With Month-Long Programme
After a major renovation, Dubai's TODA returns with a new digital art foyer and a packed May calendar.
Dubai's Theatre of Digital Art (TODA) has officially reopened its doors at Souk Madinat Jumeirah, unveiling a transformed venue that blends digital innovation with cultural programming. Following an extensive renovation, the space now features a redesigned main auditorium and a new independent foyer—both tailored to host immersive performances and curated digital art from international creators.
With digital installations from artists including Neuro Art, Lindsay Kokoska and Kristina Sidorova, the updated TODA foyer has evolved into a standalone cultural destination. It now serves as both a prelude to and extension of the theatre's immersive programming.
Throughout May 2025, TODA will host an expansive lineup of events spanning digital art, live music, family-friendly shows and wellness sessions. Among the highlights is 'Art Masters Nights – Art Dubai Special Edition', a series of 360° experiences that reimagine the works of Van Gogh, Monet, Kandinsky, and Klimt.
For younger audiences, 'The Fixies: Tech It Easy!' brings together animation, workshops and interactive meet-and-greets. 'Kids & Classics: Goldilocks & The Three Bears' combines live classical music with children's storytelling for a one-day performance on May 25th.
Wellness programming takes on an immersive format too. '9D Breathwork Meditation' and 'Immersive Yoga with Seetal' transform guided sessions into multisensory journeys using visuals, soundscapes, and digital atmospheres.
Live performances throughout the month reflect TODA's international reach. From 'Lebanese Music Night' and 'The Echoes of Japan', to 'Immersive Tango Night', jazz concerts, and Russian-language musicals, the programme highlights a cross-cultural approach to storytelling through sound and movement.
Adding another layer to the venue's transformation, TODA has partnered with chef bartender Alexey Dubovik to launch a new cocktail menu inspired by iconic artists. Dubovik's 'Art's Touch' collection draws on figures like Frida Kahlo and Banksy to craft drinks that mirror the venue's creative ethos.
