SUMMARY:Sunday Morning
DESCRIPTION:Successful 40s-ish photographer Mat (James Cuningham) takes us on a heart-warming\, epiphanic journey in this one-man show\, written by Nick Warren and directed by Jenine Collocott. On learning that his girlfriend is pregnant\, a stunned Mat goes for a jog in his neighbourhood to do some thinking. Straying from his regular route he ventures into an unknown and rundown section of the city where he makes a gruesome discovery that changes everything … This fast-paced show is infused with the kind of wit\, acute observation\, real suspense\, imminent danger\, selfish need\, and poignant humanity that are the basic elements of urban life in contemporary South Africa\, where it’s a multiple award winner.

SUMMARY:La Lezione di Teatro | The Acting Class
DESCRIPTION:This 45-minute play — first seen at the NYUAD Arts Center last autumn – is a joyful lesson in theatre and a tribute to the theatrical talent of Italians for connecting to anyone\, transcending language barriers. Set partly in English and partly in Italian (and without subtitles)\, the show ironically demolishes preconceived notions of the difficulty of theatre language and highlights how communication problems can be solved with theatrical bodywork \nThe plot is simple enough\, set in the tradition of the comedy of errors: an Italian actress (Francesca Bizzarri\, who also developed the piece) receives a student (played by Claudio Grilli) for a private drama lesson in her apartment; he is eager to learn the tricks of the trade\, she is thrilled at the idea of making him fall in love with Italian theatre. She sits him down and searches through her library\, preparing the ideal acting class for him – from Plautus to Pirandello via Dario Fo. The lesson falters on language problems\, and communication breaks down until the universal language of commedia dell’arte comes to the rescue …

SUMMARY:Felipe Ortiz: Lugares
DESCRIPTION:A night of unique improvised theatre with Felipe Ortiz\, an acclaimed performer from Colombia – founding member of La Gata Circo and Picnic Impro\, teacher of circus techniques\, clowning and theatre improvisation at the Javeriana University in Bogotá\, touring around the world since 2003 with different projects and collaborations\, and generally a leading voice in physical and visual improv. Recently he also became a pilates instructor and has been studying a movement training programme. \nLugares (“Places”) begins with a simple question to the audience: tell us about a room or a place that means something to you. From there\, Felipe weaves a spontaneous\, physical\, and deeply human journey through memory\, imagination and space – transforming a single suggestion into a rich theatrical world. \nSays the Courtyard: “Touching\, playful and utterly unpredictable\, Lugares invites you to see how the places we hold in our hearts can become the starting point for something magical”. \nAs always at the Courtyard it’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website) – it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early enough to grab a seat.

SUMMARY:Carnage: Courtesies\, Goodwill\, and Other Hypocrisies
DESCRIPTION:This adaptation of Yasmina Reza’s Le Dieu du Carnage is described as a “compelling theatrical experience that delves into the fragile facade of civility”. The play follows two couples who meet to resolve a conflict between their children – but what begins as a polite discussion quickly descends into chaos. With biting dialogue and moments of raw emotion\, this adaptation reveals the deep-seated hypocrisies\, prejudices\, and tensions lurking beneath the surface of social norms … Presented with the Italian Cultural Institute Abu Dhabi and Italian Theater & Culture Association\, the performance is in Italian with English subtitles
