SUMMARY:Berlin: Perhaps All the Dragon
DESCRIPTION:An interesting take on the ‘six degrees of separation’ theory – the idea that all people are no more than six social connections away from each other. In an intimate setting\, spectators are seated at a large oval table\, each facing a single screen. Seemingly ordinary people appear on their screens\, each narrating an unusual but true story in a filmed monologue – a philosophic proposition\, a scientific detail or an anecdote. The themes brought up in these stories are eclectic; together\, they balance on the edge of believability. \nThere are performances at 8.30pm on these dates: \n\n13 Jan (English)\n14 Jan (English)\n19 Jan (Arabic)\n20 Jan (English)\n21 Jan Jan (English)\n26 Jan (Arabic)\n27 Jan (English)\n28 Jan (English)\n2 Feb (Arabic)\n3 Feb (English)\n4 Feb (English)\n\nThis is part of the second season of Perform Sharjah\, Sharjah Art Foundation’s performance programme that invites you “to encounter new experiences while exploring the heritage houses and art spaces of the city”. Perform Sharjah\, which runs from October 2023 to February 2024\, is curated by Sharjah Art Foundation’s Director of Performance and Senior Curator Tarek Abou El Fetouh.

SUMMARY:Hatshepsut: The Woman Who Would Be King
DESCRIPTION:Actually\, she was king (sort of). This “groundbreaking immersive show” covers the life of Hatshepsut (c. 1507–1458 BCE)\, the fifth Pharaoh of Egypt’s Eighteenth Dynasty – ruling first as regent to her stepson Thutmose III\, then as queen regnant. She dressed and behaved much like a man in order to keep the court and the priests on side (hence presumably the reference to ‘king’). Famously her reign was a period of great prosperity and peace\, and of major building (like the Karnak Temple Complex and her own Mortuary Temple at Deir el-Bahari). After her death most of her images were destroyed and references to her erased; ain’t that always the way? \nSo there should be lots of material for this show\, which features 270-degree wall and floor projections and the promise that “you’ll be transported to the heart of the empire\, experiencing the customs\, beliefs\, and traditions that shaped Hatshepsut’s rule … in a captivating and unforgettable experience”. \nThe show lasts about 30 minutes and there are slots throughout the day between 10am and 8.30pm from 15 January to 18 February. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Hamilton: An American Musical
DESCRIPTION:The multi award winning musical is making its Middle Eastern debut for an extended run at Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena (to 11 February). Lin-Manuel Miranda’s book\, music and lyrics have created something of a revolutionary moment in theatre – it’s a musical that has genuinely had a profound impact on culture\, politics and education. It’s probably one of those opportunities that should grab if you can\, if only to check out whether the hype is justified … \nHamilton is a sung-and-rapped-through biography of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton and his involvement in the American Revolution; Miranda has described Hamilton as about “America then\, as told by America now”. \nWeekday performances are at 8pm (not Mondays) with prices from AED 180; weekends carry a price premium (seats from AED 240!) with two performances a day on most Saturdays and Sundays. Here’s the summary: \nWed 17 Jan 8pm\nThu 18 Jan 8pm\nFri 19 Jan 8pm\nSat 20 Jan 2pm\nSat 20 Jan 8pm\nSun 21 Jan 5pm\nMon 22 Jan NO SHOW\nTue 23 Jan 8pm\nWed 24 Jan 8pm\nThu 25 Jan 8pm\nFri 26 Jan 8pm\nSat 27 Jan 2pm\nSat 27 Jan 8pm\nSun 28 Jan 1pm\nSun 28 Jan 6.30pm\nMon 29 Jan NO SHOW\nTue 30 Jan 8pm\nWed 31 Jan 8pm\nThu 1 Feb 8pm\nFri 2 Feb 8pm\nSat 3 Feb 2pm\nSat 3 Feb 8pm\nSun 4 Feb 1pm\nSun 4 Feb 6.30pm\nMon 5 Feb NO SHOW\nTue 6 Feb NO SHOW\nWed 7 Feb 8pm\nThu 8 Feb 8pm\nFri 9 Feb 8pm\nSat 10 Feb 2pm\nSat 10 Feb 8pm\nSun 11 Feb 1pm\nSun 11 Feb 6.30pm\n
