SUMMARY:Ali Al Sayed: Canceled Culture
DESCRIPTION:Top Dubai comedian Ali Al Sayed – 16 years in the business\, one of the founders and mainstays of Dubomedy\, many awards – is back with a new\, expanded version of his heavy-hitting solo show last seen here in an early version back in June 2023. It highlights Arab and Muslim perspectives from both external and internal viewpoints\, and the promo describes it as “his most daring and honest show yet”. After the main event\, Ali will return to the stage for “a round of raw and unfiltered\, hilarious on-the-spot crowd work”. Should be a good evening.

Should be over by 8pm.

SUMMARY:Same Same\, but Different: A Sit Down with Shawn and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Shawn Chidiac\, aka ‘My Parents are Divorced’\, is doing this chat-plus-comedy evening once a month at VOX Cinemas Mercato Mall until the end of the year. For the Julyedition\, Shawn will be joined by Russian-Romanian content creator Denisa Alexe (known for her comic character Ellena on TikTok – @ellena.goes.viral)\, and Egyptian-Canadian comedian Noha Bashir (recently seem at both the Dubai Comedy Festival and Abu Dhabi Comedy Week). \nChidiac has since successfully transitioned from social media fame to live comedy performances and podcast-style talks.

Their programme: \nDebussy Violin Sonata L.140\nEnescu Impressions d’enfance Op.28\nTakemitsu From Far beyond Chrysanthemums and November Fog\nProkofiev Violin Sonata No.1 in F minor Op.80\nRavel Tzigane \nThat’s an interesting mix which should make for an excellent recital in the Global Notes series\, a programme curated by Amria Fouad that features young stars from around the world with a mix of favourite music\, classical masterpieces\, and lesser-known gems.

SUMMARY:Searching for Pierrot
DESCRIPTION:A one-person play written and performed by Gillian Rhodes\, who is really very good at this storytelling-with-performance sort of thing. This time it’s a coming-of-age tale of a young boy in the late 19th century; a chance encounter with the famous clown Pierrot “sets off a chain of events that leads the boy through the city\, from the freak show to the opera and all the way to the future … He meets a host of colourful and mysterious characters that prompt him to question what it really means to be remarkable\, and what it costs”. Recommended.

Stephen Frears explores questions of race\, religion\, power\, and the farce of Empire through the prism of a highly unusual and deeply moving friendship; he gets excellent performances from Ali Fazal and the the always reliable Judi Dench in a film that is funny\, poignant and pertinent.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Khalid Jauffer: Looking\, dwelling\, leaving
DESCRIPTION:Jauffer is an artist who deals in the metaphoric potential of everyday objects\, find the ironies in his everyday surroundings ad teasing out the spatial\, poetic relationships between his subjects and their frangible correlation to human beings. “Discarded objects and broken things are legible to a bypasser primarily as ends\, trash\, the leftovers of a story that’s done being told; it is through a process of care and attention that Khalid transforms found ends into beginnings\, unravelling tightly wound threads of human fragility encased in unremarkable shells … The simple act of looking is a necessary precursor to finding\, it is crucially differentiated from ‘seeking’ in that it is open-ended: it doesn’t prescribe its outcome …”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Ala Ebtekar: The Sky of the Seven Valleys
DESCRIPTION:Ebtekar’s exhibition\, is presented as “one work in seven chapters”\, each composed of one to four doorway-sized panels that combine multi-wavelength photographic processes with the artist’s distinctive cloud-making brushstrokes. Inspired by Farid ud-Din Attar’s Sufi poem Conference of the Birds\, Ebtekar’s series follows the journeys of 30 birds through seven valleys of enlightenment: Quest\, Love\, Knowledge\, Detachment\, Unity\, Wonderment\, Poverty\, and Annihilation. Says the gallery: “As spectators confront these larger-than-life prints\, they find themselves immersed in a landscape where the atmosphere itself becomes the canvas of the cosmos\, blurring the boundaries between observer and the observed”.

DESCRIPTION:Improvised PowerPoint presentations. The speakers face a live audience\, presenting slides they’ve never seen before\, on a topic determined at random by the ‘Wheel of Destiny’. Virtually guaranteed to be funny … Afterwards there’s a chance to mingle with presenters and the Courtyard’s people over mocktails – “an opportunity to connect with our team and find out more about our Corporate Academy”.

SUMMARY:The Leisure Seeker: dir Paolo Virzì (2017)
DESCRIPTION:Lovably impulsive oldsters Ella and John (Donald Sutherland and Helen Mirren) infuriate their uptight children by heading off in their cranky old Winnebago for a last road trip in the sunset of their lives. They are cheerful\, gutsy\, secretly scared of the future and by imminent revelations about their shared past. \nIn memory of the late Donald Sutherland\, who died earlier this month.

SUMMARY:Book-Paper-Scissors: dir Nanako Hirose (2019)
DESCRIPTION:The book designer’s job is not only to come up with the outstanding jacket of a book\, but also to carefully choose the papers and the fonts\, and layout them to create the unique physical book. This documentary on 75-year-old Japanese book designer Nobuyoshi Kikuchi presents a fascinating portrait of a man who has devoted his life to his craft – he has designed more than 15\,000 books\, and he still works with a ruler\, scissors\, and pencils\, creating unique fonts\, and making meticulous use of the particular properties of the chosen paper. He enjoys the personal exchange with authors\, a good cup of coffee\, and a stroll through the flea market … \nThis is a Cinema Akil presentation in collaboration with House of Artisans at Qasr Al Husn\, one of a series of screenings that narrate diverse stories of artisans from various backgrounds and cultures.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Raed Yassin: Allegorical Ruins
DESCRIPTION:Yassin explores the implications of Roland Barthes’ concept of “the return of the dead” in photography\, playing on the tension between memory and ghostliness by utilising old black and white photographs to evoke loss and the fleeting nature of memory. Yassin’s work also encompasses themes of urban decay and political upheaval\, with a particular focus on Beirut; but despite the mantle of loss and ruin\, Yassin infuses his art with moments of hope\, prompting viewers to reflect on memory’s complexities and consider the possibility of renewal amidst the remnants of the past.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Khaled Akil: The Infinite & The Finite
DESCRIPTION:A solo show for the artist’s recent work − which aims to depict “the unseen\, the felt\, and the omnipresent”. Akil creates his compositions through dozens of thin layers\, creating depth while avoiding impasto; “the drying process [of oil paint] presents and provokes questions and answers in the artist’s mind\, creating multiple effects to choose from. Akil’s work brings time and space together through medium and concept\, putting all his tools together to tackle the immensity of the universe …”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Echoes of Infinite: Poetry’s Visual Symphony
DESCRIPTION:The Farjam Foundation isn’t a particularly activity gallery\, but it does have access to an excellent private collection that spans early Islam to present-day artistic practice across regional geographies and beyond. So when it puts on a show of selected artworks from The Farjam Collection\, it’s worth paying attention. \nThis one offers a contemporary take on classical themes in four paintings by Iranian artist Arash Nazari\, juxtaposed with ten miniature folios of Shahnameh (aka ‘The Book of Kings’\, Ferdowsi’s epic poem of 940-1020 CE) from the 15th to 17th century. \nThe exhibition seeks to magnify the glories of the detailed\, early illustrations portraying mythical stories of heroic tales\, with their rich tapestry of symbols and legendary characters that reflect ancient beliefs and traditions. Nazari himself is a self-taught Iranian artist who is fascinated by the paintings of the Shahnameh. His practice explores the original techniques of Persian Negaargari — a classical style of miniature painting or illustration that often features elaborate scenes in exquisite detail\, reflecting themes of literature\, mythology\, and royalty\, using fine brushwork and intricate color palettes.
