SUMMARY:Hady Boraey: Migrants to the North
DESCRIPTION:The second solo show at this gallery for the Egyptian artist\, featuring new works with themes of memory\, nostalgia\, and childhood. Inspired by ancient Egyptian and Coptic art\, Boraey heavily depends on metaphors\, “taking his audience on a dramatic journey filled with poetic nuances to coax them into new territory beyond their comfort zones” as the gallery puts it. \nThe artist himself says the inspiration came from his father’s library: “In my journey from childhood to maturity\, I was affected and dreamed a lot of another distant land to live in. There is nothing in it but a rock\, a horse\, a tree and a lake. A pure\, simple dream. Here\, in some of these paintings\, I tried to convey my childhood dream in paintings that carry many of the feelings of Hady the child\, whose life took him far from his home in the Delta. He still dreams of the legends of his grandmother’s old tales …” \nTo 5 April.

SUMMARY:Hold the Mushrooms
DESCRIPTION:The dynamic of a close-knit family of three is altered when the daughter introduces her boyfriend into their world: the father doesn’t think the boy is good enough\, arguments and ruptures follow\, and all those involved have different perspectives … The play is about relationships\, value systems\, and prejudices – how we are unable to express ourselves and how pride won’t allow us to make up with our loved ones. Written by Binoy Mohan\, it’s directed by Dubai theatre veteran Rashmi Kotriwala. \nThere are shows today at 2.30 and 7.30pm\, and tomorrow at 2.30pm.

SUMMARY:A Real Pain: dir Jesse Eisenberg (2024)
DESCRIPTION:Jesse Eisenberg wrote\, directed and stars in this whip-sharp comedy of two Jewish American cousins touring Poland in honour of their grandmother. The fun comes from the verbal sparring between uptight\, neurotic David (Eisenberg) and his outgoing\, unpredictable cousin Benji (Kieran Culkin)\, but it’s also a substantial and emotionally nourishing character study – and the final shot of the film is absolutely devastating. A BAFTA Award winner\, and tipped for an Oscar too. Very highly recommended.

SUMMARY:Mobius Design Studio: Crystal No.6
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates the historic Dubai neighbourhood of Freej Al Murar (on the Deira side of Dubai Creek) as a living archive of artistry\, community\, and resilience. In this research project\, Sharjah-based Mobius Design Studio – led by Hadeyeh Badri\, Hala Al-Ani\, and Riem Ibrahim – has explored the layered histories and vibrant culture of Freej Al Murar. \nAt its core\, the project acknowledges the erasure driven by capitalism\, where the beauty of traditional garments often overshadows the labour and stories of their makers. The project began with an exploration of the mkhawera\, the traditional embroidered garment of Emirati women; this work pays homage to the artisans who are often excluded from the narrative. \nThe exhibition features an installation of nine addas (embroidery stretchers) with embroidered personal narratives by artisans\, a short film by Abdulla Majjan\, and a publication with essays that explore the neighbourhood’s significance. \nTo 11 March.

SUMMARY:Nada Baraka and Esraa Elfeky: Across A Velvet Horizon
DESCRIPTION:A collaborative presentation of Egyptian artists Nada Baraka and Esraa Elfeky that plays on “a sense of incompleteness … Here\, history is unfixed and left open to question. Viewers are invited to sit with uncertainty\, to embrace the search even when the full picture remains tantalisingly out of reach”. Baraka’s evocative paintings and Elfeky’s tactile sculptures offer a visual narrative that blurs personal\, cultural\, and environmental histories\, occupying a space between the real and the imagined. \nTo 8 April. \nAbove: Nada Baraka\, Lukewarm Library

SUMMARY:Cosmopolitan Imagination: Cultural Reflections from the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be a citizen of the world? How do literature\, culture\, and identity shape our understanding of belonging and difference?

As Emeritus Professor of English and of African American Studies at Harvard and a Global Professor of Literature at NYU Abu Dhabi\, Sollors has charted new ways of thinking about cosmopolitanism\, ethnicity\, and race. \nWith the release of The Werner Sollors Reader from Edinburgh University Press\, Sollers will be talking with Shamoon Zamir\, Professor of Literature and Art History at NYUAD\, about his work.

SUMMARY:Romeo and Juliet
DESCRIPTION:The final performance for this version of the Shakespeare play – featuring a five-piece band\, songs by Queen\, dancing\, and lots of swordfighting. \nSays the blurb: “Imagine Shakespeare’s classic envisioned by Freddie Mercury\, blending elements of Zeffirelli\, Baz Luhrmann\, Jamie Lloyd and Bridgerton into a magical spectacle. The production features iconic Queen hits such as Bohemian Rhapsody\, We Will Rock You\, Somebody to Love\, Who wants to live forever and We are the Champions …” Director Alex Broun says the adaptation by Lydia DeSouza “takes the original story to a whole new level and reveals magic that may often be lost in the text. The show literally has everything – dancing\, duels\, romance\, singing\, and one of the greatest love stories of all time. This will be a night of pure joy you won’t forget.” And of course it opens on Valentine’s Day … \nThe production is directed by Broun for the highly rated Cross Bronx Crew\, “an award-winning theatre group that loves the art of acting\, making good theatre\, and having fun while we do it …”. The cast features a mix of some of the city’s top actors plus recent Sharjah Performing Arts Academy graduates ”and exciting new faces”. Musical direction is by Sam Randall\, choreography by Beth Mitchinson from Music Theatre Dubai\, and fight choreography by Jay Nagjee.

SUMMARY:Boiler Room Six
DESCRIPTION:The second (and final) performance of Tom Foreman’s account of the almost impossible but true survival story of Frederick Barrett\, lead firemen in one of the boiler rooms on the Titanic. Barrett’s story is one of the most devastating accounts of the last few hours of Titanic\, and Foreman’s one-man play gives a voice to the working men below deck … The play premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe in August 2024\, selling out its entire run\, and receiving widespread acclaim\, including being awarded the Best Overall Show of the festival by the Derek Awards.

SUMMARY:Remote Abu Dhabi by Rimini Protokoll
DESCRIPTION:Rimini Protokoll pushes the boundaries of conventional theatre. During this performance walk within the collective’s ‘Remote X’ series (2013–ongoing)\, you are invited to explore the growing presence of artificial intelligence in future cities; for this tour\, designed specifically for Abu Dhabi\, you wear headphones (provided) and are guided by a computer-generated voice (in Arabic or English) into familiar and unfamiliar sites “that emerge as if from an imagined film”. \nThe starting point is the Landmark Tower on the Abu Dhabi Corniche Family Park. The Rimini Protokoll experience is remarkable and can be eye-opening; the collective has done Abu Dhabi a couple of times in the past\, as part of early Abu Dhabi Art extras\, and we’d heartily recommend the trip … \nThis is part of the Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial. \nFuture dates: \n6 April\n13 April\n20 April\n27 April \n

SUMMARY:Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial: Bik Van der Pol’s The poem that jumps the fence
DESCRIPTION:Artist duo Bik Van der Pol (Liesbeth Bik and Jos Van der Pol) engage in collaborative projects on how art constructs public spaces for speculative thought and collective creativity. The poem that jumps the fence features weekly performances on Abu Dhabi Beach and workshops connecting words and sand as real and symbolic material that binds our world; every Sunday afternoon\, a performer writes a poem in the sand\, only for it to fade away. During workshops in collaboration with local poets and writers\, participants generate text for the performances. \n  \n

The play is directed by Tom Foreman\, but we don’t know who’s playing Barrett (in UK shows it’s been Max Beken\, who got some very good reviews). There are just two performances\, on 15 and 16 February.
