SUMMARY:A Summer Allegory
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition with a seasonal theme: “summer is when all positive feelings surface allowing for a better appreciation of everything we do\,” says the curatorial statement. “A Summer Allegory aims to encompass this summer’s glamour through a selection of artists\, forms and subject matter”. \nThe artists: \nRichard Ketley – a South African based between Dubai and Johannesburg whose abstracts reflect his extensive: “I find meaning where others do not – in the fall of light on a sandy building in Riyadh\, the chaos of the shacks of Kampala\, the crowded taxi parks of Johannesburg …” \nSolimar Miller – a 25-year resident of the UAE who specialises in silkscreen works that highlight the unique qualities of the indigenous flora. \nElisabeth Dorazio – the Brazilian artist\, currently a Dubai resident\, has an impressively large body of work in different techniques and materials. “Her use of shifting and fragmented surfaces alludes to the existential and unstable nature of humanity and the natural world\,” says the gallery. \nColleen Quigley – a Japanese-American artist based in Tucson\, her practice encompasses a broad range of media including sculpture\, installation\, painting\, encaustic\, and digital fabrication on themes of materiality\, perception\, memory and place\, and the transcultural flow of objects. \nTo 7 September. \nAbove: Elisabeth Dorazio\, Untitled (from the On Nature series\, 2019)

SUMMARY:Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
DESCRIPTION:A second performance (of three) for this bittersweet comedy by H72 Productions. Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike\, a play by the American writer Christopher Durang\, has been praised as a humorous adaptation of Chekhovian themes that doesn’t require any familiarity with Chekhov. Its story revolves around the relationships of three middle-aged single siblings; Vanya and Sonia live together\, supported financially by their sister Masha in their country house with a vestigial cherry orchard (Chekhov fans will of course spot the borrowings). They come together to talk about their lives\, reflecting on moments of joy and regret; the themes of old versus new generations\, real versus assumed identities\, the challenges of a woman growing older after success in a career that seems to be ending\, the hope and carelessness of youth are all  thrown into relief when Masha reveals plans to sell the family home … \nIt’s directed for H72 by Akansha Goenka (winner of Short+Sweet Theatre Festival 2022′). There is a final performances on 25 June.
