Aquatique Show

What Aquatique Show does

Aquatique Show is a French designer and producer of water shows, water effects, and immersive water features, headquartered in Strasbourg and operating globally. Founded in 1979 (with one company-history reference to 1984) and operating for 40+ years, the firm positions itself as a global leader in its niche and claims to deliver more than 100,000 performances annually from permanent installations alongside temporary event shows worldwide. Its customer base spans amusement parks, integrated resorts, event agencies, municipalities, government/national events, and luxury brand activations.

The company's product portfolio centers on proprietary branded technologies: AquaStage® water drone shows (developed in partnership with Dronisos to fuse water-jet choreography with autonomous drone flights), Aqua Graphic® digital water curtain, Aquavision® projection water wall, plus a broad catalog of musical fountains, water screens, tornado and dancing fountains, water tunnels, fog effects, interactive fountains, water labyrinths, and giant-scale custom water shows. It maintains full control over the production chain from concept to final show and operates what it describes as an unmatched stock of rental equipment, supported by experienced technical teams for reactive global deployment. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales with marketing through owned digital channels (website, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube) and industry trade shows such as IAAPA Europe.

Monetization is project-based and quote-based across three streams: managed services from permanent installations, professional services for temporary event shows, and equipment rental with technical crew support. Despite a reported headcount of 18, the firm delivers high-visibility projects for marquee clients including Puy du Fou, Cirque du Soleil (Luzia), Marina Bay Sands (Spectra), City of Dreams Macau (House of Dancing Water), Universal Studios Orlando, Volkswagen Autostadt, the FIFA World Cup Qatar opening show, and Expo 2020 Dubai, with active service to North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Pricing is non-public and engagement-specific.
