SUMMARY:The Addams Family – A New Musical
DESCRIPTION:MTDXB (Musical Theatre Dubai) is – as far as we know – the first and only adult theatre group in Dubai to specialise in musicals. Formed in 2021\, they have done four performances to date\, and they tend to be best-of cabaret-type shows like this one; but the team has managed to gather an impressive addressbook of once-pro and semi-pro performers\, mostly from Britain\, who between them can boast of a wealth of experience. \nSo this full-scale exercise should be good. It’s an original story (book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice\, music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa) that provides a sequel to the original Addams Family story. Wednesday Addams\, the ultimate princess of darkness\, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet\, smart young man from a respectable family– a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough\, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now\, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before: keep a secret from his beloved wife\, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents … \nClaire Bennett directs\, the musical director is Adam Laird. The production has a cast of 50\, a live 12-piece band\, and a “stunning” professionally built set. We’re promised “a number of showstopper songs” (when we saw a version of the show a while ago we counted around 20 of them\, and particularly liked the Move Towards the Darkness finale) “and elaborate dance routines”. Sounds like a load of fun … \nThere are further performances at 7.30pm on 2 and 3 June\, with a 2.30 matinée on the Saturday too.

SUMMARY:Talal Al Najjar\, Ziad Al Najjar: Symbiotic Hyperreal
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition marks the first duo show for Emirati brothers Talal Al Najjar and Ziad Al Najjar. They each maintain a distinct individual artistic practice\, but developed in close proximity to one another; and both draw upon their relationship to their surroundings\, particularly Dubai\, where they grew up. \nViewed together\, the works of Talal and Ziad create a quality of simulation\, unrealness\, or hyperreality (the inability to distinguish from a simulation of reality). From the moment that the viewer enters the space\, they are watching\, but there is also a sense of being watched. \nTo 14 June. \nThis exhibition is curated by Tala Nassar; it marks Nassar’s final project at The NYUAD Art Gallery\, before departing to pursue graduate study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

SUMMARY:Ever-Present
DESCRIPTION:A group show by six African artists presenting “a captivating and thought-provoking collection of artworks that highlight the diverse landscapes and thematic intersections of African art across generations … The exhibition offers a glimpse into the complex histories\, traditions\, and values that have shaped the artists and the communities they represent. The selected artists and artworks delve into profound themes and challenge conventional thinking in their respective works\, exploring the connections between past and present\, investigating how personal and collective histories continue to shape our understanding of the world …” An interesting-sounding attempt to capture the essence of Africa through “an exploration of the interplay between cultural heritage and the forces of globalisation”. \nThe artists: \n\nJ.K. Bruce-Vanderpuije (1899–1989)\nEl Anatsui (b.1944)\nVictor Ekpuk (b.1964)\nBetty Acquah (b.1965)\nMaggie Otieno (b.1974)\nYaw Owusu (b.1992)\n\nTo 1 July. \nAbove: El Anatsui\, Ancient text (2021)

SUMMARY:Press Print!
DESCRIPTION:A group show that celebrates printmaking practices in the UAE\, especially “the inherent experimental potential and various techniques available to artists working today”. From the gallery’s press release: \n\nDubai-based illustrator and printmaker Azim Al Ghussein experiments with image making methods and materials outside the conventional studio. Made using linocut\, tetrapak drypoint and risograph techniques\, Azim’s prints are thoughtful explorations of the capacity for sharing (and caring)\, distribution\, and hospitality.\nUAE-based American printmaker and lecturer Brian Gonzales presents a new series of CMYK screenprints depicting irrational compositions and vibrant colour schemes. The abstract prints that mark the artist’s sixth year in the UAE belong to Brian’s wider narrative unravelling endless enigmas.\nIn a new series of etchings and screenprints\, Diego Mendoza explores culture induced concepts of masculinity by layering multiple image transfer methods to create pattern compositions of overlapping imagery. With visual references to mythological\, current\, and cross-cultural representations of the subject\, Diego portrays changing spectrums of measuring masculinity.\nHala El Abora takes an experimental and interdisciplinary approach to materialise her printmaking process beyond the surface. Inspired by archiving practices\, Hala’s work explores acts of preservation\, merging the real and imaginary into permanent objects facing the test of time.\nJi-Hye Kim conveys the question of self-identity by reflecting on the properties of the UAE’s rocky mountains against natural occurrences\, such as rain and wind. In new large-scale monoprints\, the artist traces the textures of these mountains as if recalling their memories and transformation overtime.\nEmirati artist Khalid Mezaina presents a new body of mixed media prints on paper and fabric\, drawing from his research on regional and historical talismanic practices. In these works\, Khalid repetitively uses simple shape stamps to compose images of movement rituals\, such as dancing.\nSafeya Sharif explores the concept of selective memory in a new series of embossed and linocut prints. By isolating selected scenes of her signature endless hallways\, Safeya highlights the correlation between memory and imagination.\nSalama Nasib presents a new series of prints as part of her continued exploration of memory. In this playful series\, Salama looks at childhood desires to play\, collaging a print illustration of her family home’s slide against screenprinted backdrops of the past.\n\nThe exhibition includes a Print Exchange\, a collection of limited edition prints by each of the eight participating artists available for purchase. \nTo 7 September.

SUMMARY:CineMAS – Under the Fig Tree: dir Erige Sehiri (2022)
DESCRIPTION:In northwest Tunisia\, young women work the summer harvest.

Friendships\, enmities\, generational and political disputes and embryonic and failed love affairs are revealed to us … Highly recommended. \nThis film opens the CineMAS contemporary Arab cinema series\, a mini-festival of independent films curated by Hind Mezaina and presented by the NYUAD Film and New Media Program in partnership with the NYUAD Arts Center. Day tickets are AED 30\, weekend (Saturday & Sunday) tickets are AED 50\, a full-week pass is AED 150.

SUMMARY:Aziza Brahim Tabal Quartet: Live In Sharjah
DESCRIPTION:Sharjah Art Foundation presents the Queen of Western Sahara Desert Blues Aziza Brahim and her Tabal Quartet live in Sharjah as part of the Sharjah Biennial 15 Music Programme. \nBorn and raised in the Saharawi refugee camps on the frontier between Algeria and Western Sahara\, Brahim reflects both the sorrow and the hope of her people in her music. Her latest album Sahari is a stunner\, showcasing Aziza’s vocal performance and compositions on a series of elegantly produced songs about the migrant experience\, and about the contrast between the desert and the metropolis\, between Africa and Europe\, between traditional and modern … \nThe concert features Aziza Brahim (lead vocals\, tabal)\, Ignasi Cussò (electric guitar)\, Guillem Aguilar (bass) and Andreu Moreno (percussion).

SUMMARY:Sol: dir Marie-Helene Cousineau (2014)
DESCRIPTION:The second of two films by Cousineau explores the death of a young Inuk man\, Solomon Tapatiaq Uyarasuk\, who is found dead in a remote Inuit community. The locals suspect murder\, but the police suggest suicide. As the film investigates Solomon’s death\, it sheds light on the underlying social issues of Canada’s North\, a region with one of the highest youth suicide rates in the world. The film explores how the pain of suicide has affected the people in these small communities\, their resilience\, and their efforts to create a better future for their people. \nThis is the final screening in the Sharjah Biennial 15 Film Programme.

SUMMARY:Black Grace: Paradise Rumour
DESCRIPTION:This premiere by the New Zealand contemporary dance company Black Grace was commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation for SB15; it’s a development of the company’s 2009 work Gathering Clouds\, which responded to prejudice and xenophobia against Pacific migrants in New Zealand. Asking ‘how far have we really come since then?’\, Paradise Rumour deals with personal and collective memories and experiences of the Pacific Island community\, starting with the arrival of the missionaries. \nFounded in 1995 in Auckland by artistic director Neil Iermia\, a dancer and choreographer of Samoan descent\, the company incorporates elements of contemporary dance into Indigenous Samoan and Maori movement patterns. Informed by the narrative traditions of the South Pacific\, their performances engage audiences with a gamut of musical genres\, from Bach and Vivaldi to Samoan hip hop to the electropop stylings of Lorde; their group’s choreographic range juxtaposes the dynamism of high-paced acrobatics with the vulnerability of theatrical narrative\, braiding these elements together into a universal physical language. \nRecommended. Admission is free\, but space is limited and prior booking is advisable.

SUMMARY:Lamya Gargash: Isthmus
DESCRIPTION:Lamya Gargash’s fifth solo show at the gallery celebrates the artist’s poetics of space\, recounting human experiences throughout different geographies without the direct presence of the human figure. “Photographing selections of objects\, furniture pieces\, window details\, and wall trimmings speaks louder than the sum of these individual design decisions – each interior element embodies a human quality and expectations of audience preferences of a certain decade\, socio-economic situation\, and culture.” \nThe title is a metaphor for capturing interiors in spaces as disparate as the Cultural Foundation in Abu Dhabi\, Hotel Acao in Atami\, and the QE2 in Dubai. The viewer is invited to look around the exhibition with a blank mind and guess which photograph was taken where … \nCurated by Sophie Mayuko Arni; runs in Gallery 1 at The Third Line to 21 July.

SUMMARY:Shabahang Tayyari: Stop counting the waves following me\, you seabirds!
DESCRIPTION:This solo exhibition explores themes of uniformity\, replication\, flatness\, originality\, fiction\, and exclusivity within the frame of each painting\, but also between the different frames\, and throughout the overall arrangement of the works. \nThe deliberate arrangement of the paintings\, with four triangular corner pieces along with the orientation of the waves purposefully guides viewers on a clockwise journey through the exhibition. Numbered and titled in tandem\, the waves evoke the three-dimensional maquettes traditionally employed by performers to emulate the fluid motion of the ocean\, while their outline drawings are informed by the curves and harmonies of Persian-Arabic calligraphy. \nRuns in Gallery 2 at The Third Line to 21 July.
