SUMMARY:Ruba Salameh: Refined Compositions
DESCRIPTION:In the face of genocide\, Palestinian artist Ruba Salameh finds her way forward through abstract painting – weaving her own narrative while connecting across generations to the work of art historian and artist Kamal Boullata. \nThis exhibition reflects primarily on the persistence of certain symbols\, such as the Palestinian flag\, in the work of Palestinian artists. Reducing the colour palette as a gesture encouraged Salameh to revisit an act similar to that of other Palestinian artists before her\, as an act of reclamation. It revealed how\, even with the passing of time\, these visual elements have remained charged with urgency and continue to inhabit the thoughts and practices of Palestinian artists. \nTo 9 November.

SUMMARY:Game. Set. Match.
DESCRIPTION:The second day of performances for this new Tall Tales / Cross Bronx Studio production It has been adapted from the 2016 Italian film Perfect Strangers\, itself a critical and commercial success that has resonated with audiences around the world and generated a number of remakes and reworkings; for this production\, writer Sid Abbas has switched the locale to Dubai’s tennis scene. Set in a luxury tennis club suite\, the play follows seven long-time friends reunited for a destination wedding; but a seemingly innocent game of sharing phone messages and calls turns into digital Russian roulette. Secrets\, affairs\, emotional confessions\, and some truly terrible texting etiquette emerge … We’re promised fast-paced dialogue\, laugh-out-loud moments\, and gut-punch emotional turns: “if you’ve ever been in a relationship\, had a group chat\, or made a mistake you hoped your partner would never see — this play is for you”. \nThere are shows at 3pm and 7.30pm\, with a final performance at 7.30pm on 14 September.

SUMMARY:Every Brilliant Thing
DESCRIPTION:A second night for this single-hander written by the English playwright/director Duncan Macmillan with actor/writer/comedian Johnny Donahoe\, The Guardian called the original Edinburgh Festival production “one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression – and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see\, full stop”. The Junction’s main man Gautam Goenka directs and performs; the play manages to be both intimate and interactive\, a touching\, funny\, and uplifting play that chronicles life’s small joys and reveals the lengths to which we will go for those we love. Highly recommended. \nThere’s a final performance on 14 September. \n
