Theatre of Digital Art Reopens in Dubai With Month-Long Programme
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.

Animotion Media and TODA launch ‘The Fixies: Tech It Easy'
Tickets for the show are now on sale, with performances scheduled throughout May 2025. Animotion Media Group, a producer and distributor of children's animated content, has partnered with the Theatre of Digital Arts (TODA) to unveil The Fixies: Tech It Easy — the first immersive children's show hosted at TODA since its grand reopening in April 2025. Premiering on May 3 and running throughout the month, the show brings the animated characters Simka and Nolik to life in an interactive, tech-driven experience designed to entertain and educate. Leveraging TODA's state-of-the-art, projection-based venue, the production blends storytelling, science and digital visuals to introduce young audiences to the fascinating world of modern technology. The Fixies: Tech It Easy transforms familiar everyday objects into epic adventures, sparking curiosity in children as they explore how gadgets work — from smartphones to smart homes. The experience kicks off with a lively Meet & Greet where children can interact with their favourite Fixies characters, followed by a 30-minute screening inside TODA's immersive digital theatre. The screening is packed with laughter, exploration, and Fixie-style problem-solving, enhanced by the venue's 360-degree projection technology. After the show, young visitors will head to the creative corner, where they'll animate their own characters, engage in hands-on activities, and leave with Fixies-themed souvenirs — a take-home reminder of their digital adventure. Julia Nikolaeva, General Manager at Animotion Media, said: 'TODA is the perfect place to showcase The Fixies. The show itself is highly interactive by nature, and TODA's cutting-edge technology beautifully complements the storytelling, creating an incredible world kids can truly step into. We're thrilled to partner with TODA to bring a new kind of educational entertainment experience — one that not only inspires kids to learn about technology but also builds lasting engagement and a strong fan community.' Anna Magritskaya, Managing Director of TODA, added: 'We are proud to host The Fixies: Tech It Easy at TODA. Our goal has always been to create memorable, meaningful experiences where entertainment and learning go hand-in-hand. Through this collaboration, children will experience technology in a whole new way — playful, educational, and unforgettable.'
