SUMMARY:Ahmad Nabil: Fetus Exodus
DESCRIPTION:A Jameel Library Commission by the Palestinian artist and educator that explores regional myths and legends through ten monthly texts – chapters in fact\, in digital form – that address an imagined foetus (referred to as a “child of myths”) as it prepares to be born. Through this imagined dialogue\, the foetus is introduced to mythological thought and encouraged to embrace a shared imaginarium. The chapters traverse the entire cycle from creation and birth to resurrection\, encouraging exploration of their commonalities while making space for differences. \nAfter its conclusion on 27 July you can still view the whole project here.

SUMMARY:Mama Mia!
DESCRIPTION:The worldwide smash hit arrives in Abu Dhabi with its heartwarming story (the lighthearted and humorous tale of a mother\, her daughter\, and three possible fathers on an idyllic Greek island)\, created by Judy Craymer – who rarely gets the credit she’s due – around the songs of Benny Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. Apparently 65 million people around the world have seen the show\, and there’s a good chance that this extended run on Yas will add substantially to that number … Note that there are separate prices for weekdays (starting at AED 125) and weekends (from AED 200). Before the Friday and Saturday evening performances there’s also an Abba/Mediterranean themed brunch deal of offer at AED 199 per ticket. \nPerformances: \n11 June 7.30pm\n12 June 7.30pm\n13 June 7.30pm\n14 June 1pm\n14 June 6pm\n15 June 1pm\n15 June 6pm \n19 June 7.30pm\n20 June 7.30pm\n21 June 1pm\n21 June 7pm\n22 June 1pm\n22 June 6pm

SUMMARY:63Kolektib: Metro Diaries
DESCRIPTION:Commissioned by The Arts Center\, Metro Diaries invites audiences to step into a world that reflects the rhythm of daily metro rides through evocative performances that blend spoken word\, dance\, and live soundscapes; the experience unfolds in vignettes that capture fleeting connections\, moments of solitude\, and the universal search for belonging. Passengers board\, interact\, and part ways\, each carrying a story; some encounters are lighthearted\, filled with warmth and curiosity\, while others reveal the deeper struggles and resilience of migrant communities. At its core\, Metro Diaries is a meditation on loss\, hope\, and grounding – three universals that bind us all\, whether on a train or through life. \n63Kolektib is an artist-led community based on a shared passion for storytelling\, movement\, and cross-disciplinary collaboration for performances that amplify underrepresented voices\, particularly those of migrant communities in the UAE; through projects like Metro Diaries\, the collective strives to make theatre accessible\, using public spaces as a canvas for social reflection and dialogue. 63Kolektib’s core members are locally based Filipino theatremakers Trixie Danielle\, Juan Gonzales\, and Jomel Duran Reyes; for Metro Diaries they are joined in performance by professional dancer Rei Co. \nThere are shows today at 2.30pm and 7.30pm\, with a final 2.30pm performance tomorrow (22 June).
