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.

SUMMARY:Coco Tomita and Simon Callaghan
DESCRIPTION:The brilliant young Japanese violinist (winner of the BBC Young Musician strings category in 2020) is regularly accompanied on piano by Simon Callaghan – not least on their universally applauded 2022 debut album Origins. 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: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.

SUMMARY:Artist’s Rooms: Amba Sayal-Bennett
DESCRIPTION:Works spanning the last eight years of the artist’s practice that critically engage with the socio-political contexts of architectural heritage and modernist ideologies and aesthetics. Drawing is at the centre of Amba Sayal-Bennett’s practice\, expanding across works on paper\, projections and sculptural installations; she is particularly interested in the nature of abstraction\, using technology in the form of language\, tools\, methods and materiality to stage relations and engagement between human and non-human. \nWithin her work\, Sayal-Bennett critiques the tendency of colonial practices to decontextualise and appropriate. She traces the migration of architectural forms across continents\, such as to Chandigarh in Punjab\, the birthplace of her maternal grandparents\, and where Le Corbusier’s purpose-built city examines the failings of modernism in post-colonial contexts. She explores modernism’s rejection of ornamentalism as well as her interest in sci-fi aesthetics\, a genre which has long been criticised for its colonial overtones. \nJameel’s Artists Rooms series gives a single gallery over to a solo exhibition by influential\, innovative artists\, with a particular focus on practitioner from the Middle East\, Asia and Africa. These capsule shows are collaborative and curated in dialogue with the artist. \nTo 24 November.

SUMMARY:Artist’s Rooms: Augustine Paredes
DESCRIPTION:Augustine Paredes’ artist’s room brings together his own personal histories and stories that explore his relationship to identity and family via his personal journey as a migrant\, navigating constantly between time\, places and identities. Gradually moving away from the camera as a main source of image-making\, he has embraced a more process-based approach that focuses on the inherent qualities and agency of materials used within his work. \nThe exhibition’s central work is Mother – a portrait of Marife\, an all-important figure in his life and one that embodies his connection to home and sense of belonging. Other works present traces of burns\, verses of poems\, paintings\, ink stains\, fibres\, pearls and wool threads. Together\, these works explore the artist’s reflections on guilt\, desire and devotion. \nJameel’s Artists Rooms series gives a single gallery over to a solo exhibition by influential\, innovative artists\, with a particular focus on practitioner from the Middle East\, Asia and Africa. These capsule shows are collaborative and curated in dialogue with the artist. \nTo 24 November.

SUMMARY:Sibel: dir Çagla Zencirci\, Guillaume Giovanetti (2018)
DESCRIPTION:The French-Turkish couple Çagla Zencirci and Guillaume Giovanetti have directed several films together\, and Sibel – their third feature – is a film festival favourite.  Sibel is  a mute\, but she communicates by using the ancestral whistled language of the area. Rejected by her fellow villagers\, she relentlessly hunts down a wolf that is said to be prowling in the neighbouring forest\, sparking off fears and fantasies among the village women; she crosses path with a fugitive\, the first person to take a fresh look at her … Sibel weaves together folklore\, gender roles and a fitful kind of emancipation in the story of a young woman desperate to counter the ostracism of her fellow villager in a secluded part of the mountains of Turkey. In Turkish with English subtitles.

SUMMARY:High and Low: dir Akira Kurosawa (1963)
DESCRIPTION:Classic Kurosawa\, a gripping police thriller (based on an Ed McBain story) starring the ineffable Toshiro Mifune. Kidnapping goes wrong\, moral dilemmas ensue\, and Kurosawa uses the film noir to anatomise the inequalities in modern Japanese society. “Kurosawa’s virtuoso direction provides no easy answers\,” as the blurb puts it\, “and in short\, intense sequences he portrays the businessman\, the police and the criminal as equally brutal but nonetheless human.” In Japanese with English subtitles.

SUMMARY:The Laughter Factory Premium Comedy Club
DESCRIPTION:This month’s Laughter Factory tour promises a preview of the best of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. That’s a bold claim\, and as far as we know only one of the three acts will be performing in Scotland this August … \nRory O’Hanlon The Irish comedian is a firm favourite at the Fringe\, thanks to his rapid-fire delivery – “a joke every 30 seconds” calculated the Irish Times. Highly recommended. \nDarius Davies Definitely one of the most underrated comedians on the circuit: “supercharged\, and charismatic” said Chortle. We don’t think he’s actually at the Fringe this year\, but he was the best reviewed comedian there in 2021 … \nTABARAK A winner of the Short & Sweet Comedy Festival\, Espana Comedy Games and Beat The Camel\, Born in Karachi but living now in Dubai\, he’s a good observational comic with spot-on delivery. \nFuture dates: \n20 July Mövenpick JBR\, Dubai\n23 July Al Habtoor Polo Resort\n25 July The Club\, Abu Dhabi\n26 July Radisson DAMAC Hills\n27 July Dukes The Palm \nShow tickets are AED 160 for all gigs and all shows start at 8.30pm. \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE From Kalīla wa Dimna to La Fontaine: Travelling through Fables
DESCRIPTION:A showcase for the power of fables from different cultures and eras\, providing “the opportunity to explore the universal themes and lessons found in these stories and understand the significance they hold in shaping our world”. It’s divided into three main sections – Travelling Tales\, Telling Stories\, and The Fables Today – with more than 132 artworks on display\, an eclectic collection of rare manuscripts\, paintings\, contemporary works\, and more pieces from France\, Saudi Arabia\, and the Emirates. \nCurated by Annie Vernay-Nouri\, Former Chief Curator\, Oriental Manuscripts Department\, Bibliothèque nationale de France\, the exhibition is held in partnership with Bibliothèque nationale de France and France Muséums and is supported by Van Cleef & Arpels. \nThe exhibition traces the origins of the genre in India and Greece\, following its evolution through the contributions of two key figures: Aesop in the Greco-Roman world and Ibn al-Muqaffa in the Arab-Islamic world. Says curator Annie Vernay-Nouri: “For the first time\, visitors have a unique opportunity to witness and compare rare and precious artworks representing three distinct traditions of fables. The Eastern and Western traditions\, rooted in a shared universal heritage\, have evolved independently without direct contact\, each charting its own course. It is only through the works of the eminent fabulist Jean de La Fontaine that these traditions have finally converged and united in a singular collection showcased at Louvre Abu Dhabi.”
