SUMMARY:Art
DESCRIPTION:Yasmina Reza’s cult comedy classic uses three friends’ reactions to an expensive all-white painting to examine the dynamics of friendship. Spoiler alert: it’s not really about art per se – the white painting is just the catalyst\, but it does play a significant part in the denouement … \nJihane Tehini and Francesca Bizzarri direct a cast of three women – Leila Oggar\, Arezoo Sharifi and Jihane Tehini herself. It’s in French with English surtitles; there are shows at 2.30pm and 8pm.

SUMMARY:Rabbit Hole
DESCRIPTION:It looks as though the Junction has found another small gem – David Lindsay-Abaire’s play\, winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Drama\, is a deeply moving yet surprisingly funny story about a family navigating love\, loss\, and the search for hope. Becca and Howie have a picture-perfect family life in the suburbs of New York until a random accident takes the life of their four-year-old son. As Becca and Howie grow apart under the strain of grief: Becca’s mother badgers her about her grieving process; Becca’s younger sister Izzy announces that she is pregnant\, so there will now be a new child in the family; and Jason\, the young driver who killed their son\, continually shows up to ask forgiveness. \nBut Rabbit Hole is not just about grief—it’s about the strength of family\, the healing power of compassion\, and the possibility of finding light in unexpected places. \nDirected by Arjam Burman for the Junction’s resident company H72 Productions. There are further shows on 7 and 8 February.

SUMMARY:63Kolektib: Metro Diaries
DESCRIPTION:Reprise of a show commissioned by the NYUAD Arts Center and first performed there last summer\, 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. \nThere are shows today at 2pm and 7pm\, with two performances tomorrow (15 February) at midday and 4pm.

SUMMARY:Le Songe d'une nuit d'été
DESCRIPTION:A francophone Midsummer Night’s Dream\, directed by Culture Emulsion’s main man Stéphane Brismontier and featuring CE’s theatre school players – around a dozen of them\, which should make for a fun show on the Junction’s stage. It’s described as “d’après l’oeuvre de William Shakespeare”\, so we’re expecting an adaptation that hopefully omits some of the duller jokes and makes the most of the “mismatched lovers\, quarrelling royals\, mischievous sprites\, and a delightfully disastrous troupe of amateur actors”.  Culture Emulsion rarely disappoints … \nThere’s a second show tomorrow (15 February).
