SUMMARY:Karn:Warrior 
DESCRIPTION:Now this sounds like a lot of fun – an immersive hi-tech retelling of the story of the Mahabharata epic hero Karn. Raised in a humble village\, unaware of his noble birth\, a stable boy among princes\, Karn’s journey leads to the legendary Kurukshetra War\, where Krishna reveals his true origins and Karn must face his sworn enemy Arjun … \nThis production is described as “like stepping inside a video game”. Karn:Warrior is produced by ANT Management with a raft of Dubai theatre notables – direction by Alex Broun\, fight routines choreographed by Narsimha “Nattu” Chouhan\, movement by Gillian Rhodes (who also stars)\, stunning big-screen LED visuals by Montel Goodrick Maiava\, music by Daniel Faber (who we think is responsible for Male Fireworks\, a track on magpie’s go-to playlist\, and who certainly is one of the people behind the Rair oxygen-and-water enterprise) … \nAlex Broun described the show to us as “a uniquely modern take on the story”. It’s not just the video game setting: “most of the main characters in the Mahabharata are male\, but we have cast three exceptional female actors to play all the roles. This brings a very different take on these legendary stories\, highlighting moments and ideas that are often glossed over in other versions …” We’re promised that “Karn:Warrior is fast moving\, explosive and highly entertaining 60 minutes – it will literally be leaping off the QE2 stage. One you definitely shouldn’t miss.” \nThere are multiple characters but just three actors. Newcomer Anita Nayyar plays Karn; Rochelle Goodrick is Arjun\, Karn’s arch enemy\, and takes other roles including Duroydhan\, his benefactor; Gillian Rhodes plays more than 10 different parts ranging from an eight-year-old girl to an 80-year-old guru. \nIt plays for one day only\, with shows at 2pm and 7pm.

SUMMARY:La Lezione di Teatro | The Acting Class 
DESCRIPTION:The second performance for this joyful lesson in how theatre can transcend language barriers. An actress receives a student 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. The lesson falters on language problems\, and communication breaks down until the universal language of commedia dell’arte comes to the rescue … \nThis is one of three fringe-adjacent shows at the Junction today\, playing along with Hold on to Your Butts and Fly\, You Fools! as part of Quoz Arts Fest – so you’ll have to buy a ticket to get into the festival (one day pass AED 100\, two-day pass AED 200) as well as a ticket for the show. And the AED 120 price below is for a single performance; you can buy a two-show one-day pass for AED 199 and a three-show one-day pass for AED 299.

SUMMARY:Fly\, Your Fools!
DESCRIPTION:The second performance for this irreverent high-energy high-physicality parody of Lord of the Rings (the film rather than the novel\, in fact). Intricate Foley work is matched by the sheer skill of the actors and the increasingly manic complexity of the situations – the Mines of Moria\, a gloriously OTT death for Boromir\, and four hobbits being played by three people are standout moments\, but there are many … (Why ‘Fly\, You Fools’? It’s what Gandalf said to the company just as the Balrog dragged him down. He didn’t mean flap your wings\, obvs – it was ‘fly’ in the sense of ‘flee’.) \nThis is one of three fringe-adjacent shows at the Junction today\, playing along with La Lezione di Teatro | The Acting Class and Hold on to Your Butts as part of Quoz Arts Fest – so you’ll have to buy a ticket to get into the festival (one day pass AED 100\, two-day pass AED 200) as well as a ticket for the show.

SUMMARY:Hold On To Your Butts
DESCRIPTION:The second performance for this affectionate high-energy shot-for-shot parody of the iconic 90s film Jurassic Park\, with two blokes and a Foley artist delivering all the key characters (including most of the dinosaurs). Token low-budget costumes combined with the actors’ slick physicality\, vocal creativity and superfast pacing make it a breathless ride\, and there’s no doubting why the play has been such a big West End and fringe hit … \nThis is one of three fringe-adjacent shows at the Junction today\, playing along with La Lezione di Teatro | The Acting Class and Fly\, You Fools! as part of Quoz Arts Fest – so you’ll have to buy a ticket to get into the festival (one day pass AED 100\, two-day pass AED 200) as well as a ticket for the show.
