SUMMARY:Leda Catunda: I like to like what others are liking
DESCRIPTION:The most comprehensive solo exhibition to date of Brazilian artist Leda Catunda outside her home country. Sharjah Art Foundation is presenting four decades of Catunda’s practice\, tracing the transformation of her art from figurative painting to hybrid forms that explore materiality\, abstraction and dimensionality; her works typically explore the limits of textures and materials\, exemplifed by her ‘soft paintings’ over materials like toweling\, bedclothes\, leather\, velvet and silk. But the scope is broad: from large-scale installations to elemental watercolours\, each piece embodies a sensuous negotiation between the handmade and the mass-produced\, offering a whimsical critique of pop culture and consumerism. \nThe exhibition is curated by Hoor Al Qasimi\,  director Sharjah Art Foundation\, with Meera Madhu\, Curatorial Assistant at the Foundation. \nTo 8 February.

SUMMARY:Dear Children\, Sincerely...
DESCRIPTION:Directed by the noted Sri Lankan playwright\, director and activist Ruwanthie de Chickera\, this eclectic ensemble production is a collaboration between Stages Theatre Group\, Sri Lanka and Mashirika\, Rwanda. Dear Children\, Sincerely (DCS) is an ongoing research project\, initiated in Sri Lanka in 2015\, which gathers stories from people born in the 1930s in the two countries and presents them to younger generations through live performance. These are people who had experienced colonisation and journeyed out of it\, having to face civil war and worse; more than 70 senior citizens have been interviewed through the DCS project and so far more than two dozen stories exploring the parallel colonial and post-colonial histories of Rwanda and Sri Lanka have been created for performance. \nThe international cast  has been reunited after ten years for this performance of three of the plays: \nSeven Decades Deep: an historical journey that moves between Rwanda and Sri Lanka from 1930 to 1990 with tales of colonisation\, independence\, exile\, insurrections and genocide. \nMy Family Marriage: a humorous merging of traditional wedding customs from the two countries\, exploring how older Rwandan and Sri Lankan generations experienced family and matrimony. \nUpside Down Land: drawing from Rwanda’s and Sri Lanka’s dark histories of genocide\, pogroms and civil war\, this story delves into the complete physical and psychological collapse of a society subjected to prolonged anarchy and terror. \nThere is a second performance tomorrow (27 Sept) at the same time.

SUMMARY:Agatha Christie: Black Coffee
DESCRIPTION:Agatha Christie’s first piece of writing for the stage\, initially produced in 1930 and the start of a successful second career for her as a playwright. In her 1977 autobiography she describes it as “a conventional spy thriller … full of cliches” but she also notes that “it was\, I think\, not at all bad”. Indeed\, its format is familiar enough – scientist/inventor Sir Claud Amory discovers that someone in his household has stolen the secret formula\, the guests are gathered in the library (via a neat and unusual trick) and traps legendary detective Hercule Poirot plus his assistant Captain Hastings arrive to investigate … but Amory is murdered before they can get started\, and Poirot’s little grey cells have to work overtime … \nWe don’t know any details of the cast or director\, but it is a fun play and should make for a good evening. There are further performances at 7.30pm on 27 and 28 September\, with a 2.30pm matinee as well on the Sunday.
