EXHIBIT – Acrobatics, Dance & Art
Book on Viator →Operated by Son Amar · Bookable on Viator
Variety-show magic meets high-art acrobatics. At the House of Son Amar, EXHIBIT turns a night out into a full sensory event, starting with cocktails in a 16th-century courtyard and leading into a Hall of Fountains pre-show that feels like a mini Bellagio moment.
I especially love the way the production blends daring acrobatic feats with tightly crafted choreography, all driven by a cutting-edge soundtrack. One more big win is the venue itself: you’re not stuck in a generic theatre—Son Amar feels like part of the show, with a sense of Mallorcan polish from the first moments. A key consideration: the schedule can feel confusing. The event is listed for 9:00 pm, but the main show starts later (one review notes 10:15), and getting a taxi afterward can be slow, so plan your exit early.

Key Things That Make EXHIBIT Worth Your Time
House of Son Amar atmosphere: A historic landmark setting that feels more special than a standard theatre night.
Hall of Fountains pre-show: A light-and-water fountain show reminiscent of the Bellagio style.
Acrobatics + choreography blend: Big physical skill paired with stage movement that actually tells a story.
Modern soundtrack energy: The music is part of the pacing, not just background noise.
Arrive-for-the-night experience: Drinks in the courtyard and pre-show activities mean you’ll spend more than just “watching.”
House of Son Amar: the stage is the first act
EXHIBIT doesn’t start when the curtain rises. It starts the moment you’re escorted into House of Son Amar, a historic landmark on Mallorca. This matters more than you might think. When a performance happens in a meaningful venue, the anticipation builds naturally, and the whole evening feels intentional rather than rushed.
The venue also signals the tone: this is an avant-garde take on a classic variety-show format. You’re not just there for one type of entertainment. Expect a mix of acrobatics, dance, and art, stitched into something that moves quickly and feels modern.
Before the main performance, you’ll be invited into the flow of the location. There’s time in a 16th-century courtyard where guests can settle in and enjoy a cocktail while the venue’s historic role as an entertainment hub hangs in the air. If you like nights that feel “curated” without being stuffy, this place hits that sweet spot.
And yes—the theatre experience itself likely lands better because your expectations are already trained by the arrival setting. You’re not wondering why you’re there. The venue tells you: get ready for spectacle.

The 9:00 pm arrival plan: what to expect before showtime
On paper, the experience start time is 9:00 pm. What that means in practice is: you arrive, you check in, and you start moving through the pre-show sequence. The production includes a fountain show in the Hall of Fountains, described as reminiscent of the Las Vegas Bellagio.
One review also adds a very useful timing detail: there’s a 2-minute light and water show at 9:00 pm, then the main show starts later (10:15 is mentioned). So if you’re thinking of arriving at the last minute, don’t. You’ll miss the part that sets the mood and gets the evening rolling.
A good strategy is to treat this as a real event with lead-in time, not a quick in-and-out theatre booking. The courtyard setup encourages you to come early, hang out, and take your time before things go fully stage-mode.
If you’re traveling with someone who hates waiting, balance it like this: plan to show up a bit early, then commit to the fountain pre-show as your “warm-up.” It’s short, but it gives you a visual introduction to the production style—light, movement, and timing.
From fountains to the grand theatre: how the evening flows
The evening is built like a sequence, not a single performance. Here’s how it typically feels when you line it up:
First, you transition from the historic courtyard moment into the indoor experience in the Hall of Fountains. That fountain show is meant to work like a curtain-raiser. It’s more than background entertainment—it’s a way of getting you used to the production’s rhythm: controlled effects, choreographed pacing, and high visual focus.
Then the doors open to the Grand Theatre, and the show begins. The description is clear that entertainment starts from the moment you’re escorted to your seat, which is a nice change of pace if you usually find theatre nights too static before the first act.
What I like about this structure is that it reduces dead time. In many shows, you sit around waiting and you forget half the venue. Here, you’re constantly moving forward: courtyard → fountain hall → theatre. Even if you arrive at 9:00 pm, you’re still on the right track for the pre-show experience.
One more small practical note: because the show starts later than you might expect (10:15 mentioned in one review), keep your schedule flexible around that evening. Don’t stack another activity too close to the performance start unless you enjoy stress-testing your plans.
The show itself: acrobatics, dance, and art in one system
EXHIBIT is described as an avant-garde experience, with some of the world’s finest artists performing in a modern take on a timeless classic. Translation: it’s theatrical variety-show energy, but made for today—more athletic, more stylized, and more sound-led than your average stage format.
The big draw is the combination of disciplines:
- Daring acrobatic feats that feel physically impressive without turning into random “stunt time.”
- Dance and choreography that keep the momentum moving between acts.
- Artful staging and a cutting-edge soundtrack that ties everything together.
The production is explicitly designed so the show is a pleasure for all the senses. That’s exactly what you want from a modern performance: not just something impressive to watch, but something that makes you feel the pacing. A strong soundtrack does that. When the music drives changes in tempo, your brain locks into the show faster, and the transitions feel purposeful.
If you’re worried about whether it might be chaos—don’t. The description emphasizes choreography and cutting-edge music as core elements, which suggests the team isn’t just stacking impressive talents. They’re building a cohesive piece.
This is the kind of show that works well if you like:
- visual spectacle,
- athletic performances,
- and night outings where the venue and the acts feel like one production.
Soundtrack and choreography: what makes it feel modern
The show’s soundtrack isn’t treated as an afterthought. It’s called cutting-edge, and that detail matters because soundtrack-driven performances tend to keep a consistent energy level throughout the night.
Choreography also plays a key role. In a typical “variety” format, acts can feel disconnected. Here, the pitch is that acrobatics gel with spellbinding choreography, and that’s what you should listen for in your own expectations. You’re not only looking for impressive moves—you’re looking for how movement language connects the pieces.
A production that uses music well usually gives you:
- clearer emotional cues (when to lean in, when to anticipate),
- smoother act transitions,
- and a stronger sense of timing for the lighting and staging.
That kind of cohesion is often what separates a fun show from a “highlight of the trip” show. In one of the highest-rated notes, the event is called creative, exciting, and the standout experience—exactly the sort of response you’d expect when sound and movement are treated as the backbone.
So when you plan your evening, don’t schedule something quiet right before this. You’ll want your head in “spectacle mode.”
Timing and transport: the real-life part people forget
This is the one area where you should be extra practical.
The experience is listed with a 9:00 pm start time, but the main show start time may be later (one review says 10:15). On top of that, there’s a short 2-minute light and water show at 9:00 pm. If you show up late, you’ll lose the pre-show atmosphere, and you might also feel rushed during check-in and seating.
After the show, one review gives a heads-up that can save you stress: taxis can be hard to get immediately afterward, and the wait can be close to an hour. That’s not a small detail. It can ruin the “last memory” of the night.
My advice:
- Don’t rely on immediate taxi availability right after the curtain.
- Give yourself buffer time for pickup or arrange return transport ahead of time if possible.
- If you’re meeting someone or planning dinner after, keep it flexible.
If you’re planning a late-night evening in Mallorca, make EXHIBIT the anchor. Let everything else be optional, not scheduled.
Value check: is $117 worth a 2-hour night?
At $117 for about 2 hours, EXHIBIT is priced like a true production experience. You’re paying for more than a single act. The structure includes entry to the event, time in the courtyard, and the fountain pre-show in the Hall of Fountains before the Grand Theatre performance.
Also, the experience is described as featuring some of the world’s top artists, paired with a modern take on a timeless variety-show classic. That kind of talent level plus staging detail tends to justify theatre pricing—especially when the venue itself (Son Amar) elevates the entire night.
What can affect value for you is what you consider “included.” The tour data says the admission ticket is included, which is the key baseline. The cocktail is mentioned as something guests enjoy in the courtyard, but the pricing for drinks isn’t specified. So treat drinks as a possible extra unless your booking details clearly say otherwise.
Bottom line: for me, $117 feels reasonable if you want a packaged, high-energy entertainment night—something you can do without piecing together multiple activities. It’s also a strong choice if you’re in Mallorca for a short time and want one standout evening.
Who should book this show in Mallorca?
EXHIBIT fits best when you want:
- a night activity that feels special right from arrival,
- high-energy performances with acrobatics and dance,
- and a modern production style powered by music and staging effects.
It may be less ideal if you prefer:
- quiet, low-stimulation evenings,
- long, talk-heavy cultural experiences,
- or very early nights with strict bedtime timing.
The data also says most travelers can participate, which is good news for planning. Still, you should consider your own comfort with a theatre setting and the flow of pre-show spaces (courtyard, fountain hall, theatre seating).
If you’re traveling as a couple, this type of show often becomes a shared memory fast: it’s visually readable, rhythm-based, and designed to keep attention. If you’re solo, it’s also a good way to spend an evening without needing to “figure out” dinner, timing, and transport as much.
Should you book EXHIBIT? My practical recommendation
If you want one “wow” night in Mallorca—something with real stage energy, a striking venue, and a pre-show that sets the mood—EXHIBIT is an easy yes.
Book it if:
- you like acrobatics and dance,
- you want a show that mixes disciplines instead of repeating the same format,
- and you’re okay arriving early-ish for the pre-show sequence (including the 9:00 pm fountain moment).
Skip it or change your plan if:
- you absolutely need a predictable 9:00 pm main start time (the main show may start around 10:15),
- or you don’t want to deal with possible taxi delays right after the performance.
Treat it like an evening commitment, not a quick stop. If you do that, you’ll likely walk away with exactly what the top-rated notes describe: a creative, exciting show experience that feels like a trip highlight.
