SUMMARY:Essia Jaïbi: Metamorphoses #2
DESCRIPTION:A final performance of Essia Jaïbi’s exploration of the memories seared into her mind since childhood – she locks her mother\, Jalila Baccar\, in the glass-walled dressing room of an imagined theatre and pressures her to address the audience. Devised as a confrontation between two generations\, the performance tackles art\, theatre and cultural activism that evolve into a critique of Tunisia’s political\, cultural\, economic\, environmental and healthcare systems as well as the rights of minorities and people with disabilities.\n \nOriginally scheduled for last October but postponed in solidarity with the situation in Gaza\, this is part of the second season of Perform Sharjah\, Sharjah Art Foundation’s performance programme \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Comedy at Melrose
DESCRIPTION:Dubomedy’s regular Sunday evening stand-up gig has quickly become established\, not least because it’s free (you do have to pre-register to get on the list) and always entertaining – you never know who you’re going to see\, and while the quality is inevitably a bit variable you’re more or less guaranteed to laugh.

SUMMARY:Traversing Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:The Jameel is running a third season of Night School\, a seminar programme where UAE residents can discuss urbanism and history in Dubai. Under this season’s theme\, There You Are\, participants will assess how much we can know about a place just by taking a good look around. The seminar itself is fully booked\, but there are three public events in Art Jameel’s lobby; this is one of them. \nHind Mezaina curates five short films that respond to the Night School theme of sensing our whereabouts: \nEl Chinero\, A Phantom Hill dir Bani Khoshnoudi (2022\, 11 min) El Chinero is a rugged hill in the Baja California desert where many people are thought to have died while crossing the desert from mainland Mexico. Myth and identity\, reality and fiction\, ghosts and memory: a site of tragedy with no traces nor remnants to be seen. How can one fill this memory void with images and artefacts in an attempt to construct an archive where none exists? \nTransitions dir Aurèle Ferrier (2017\, 13 min) A journey from the civilising void of the desert to a maximal urban\, capitalistic and hedonistic density\, which in the case of Las Vegas assumes some bizarre expression. \nThe Unofficial Countryside dir Jacob Cartwright & Nick Jordan (2021\, 17 min) An observational documentary on the ‘edgeland’ landscapes between the urban and the rural\, where nature thrives on the fringes of the city in a landscape shaped by the activities and imprints of people passing through. \nBlue Honda Civic dir Jussi Eerola (2020\, 10 min) A minimalistic road movie mirroring the emotions of the driver through the landscapes (s)he has chosen to look at. \nShadegan dir Ako Salemi (2019\, 15 min) Twelve-year-old Milad guides his boat across the Shadegan wetlands in southwestern Iran. The beautiful photography shows an apparently relaxed life\, far away from the tyranny of mobile phones. Yet here\, too\, the threat of drought and pollution looms. \nAbove: Still from Shadegan\, Ako Salemi\, 2019 \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Essia Jaïbi: Metamorphoses #2
DESCRIPTION:In this performance piece\, Essia Jaïbi revisits the memories seared into her mind since childhood – she locks her mother\, Jalila Baccar\, in the glass-walled dressing room of an imagined theatre and pressures her to address the audience.

SUMMARY:Ludovico Einaudi
DESCRIPTION:After sold-out performances at Dubai Opera in 2018\, 2019\, and 2023\, the Italian composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi – one of the best-selling classical artists of all time – is back in Dubai for a three-night stint. \nBorn in Turin\, he trained at the Milan Conservatorio\, studied under Luciano Berio\, and worked as an assistant to Karlheinz Stockhausen for a while. He started out composing fairly traditional chamber and orchestral music before turning his hand to film music\, writing scores for films\, including This is England and I’m Still Here; but he hit stardom with his solo albums\, many of the pieces from them have become famous as stand-alone songs – like Nuvole Bianche\, currently clocking well over 14 million streams. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHe performs again on 20 and 21 January. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Sheher\, Prakriti\, Devi
DESCRIPTION:Riffing on the interwoven relationship between cities\, the natural environment and the sacred\, this show presents work by 12 artists and collectives working across diverse contexts of urban\, rural\, domestic\, communitarian\, public and non-material spaces. \nSheher\, Prakriti\, Devi comes from the Hindustani terms for ‘city’\, ‘nature’ and ‘deity’. The exhibition germinates from curator Gauri Gill’s own ongoing documentation of urban and semi-urban spaces in India; viewers are invited to regard ecology as an overlap of cultural\, natural and spiritual domains – a world where built and natural structures are rendered porous by termites\, gates open to unfinished roads\, historical ruins become homes to migratory birds while pigeons become occupants of post-colonial houses\, locusts bear witness to contemporary terrors and forests manifest as spirit sisters. \nIn this show are works by Chamba Rumal\, Chiara Camoni\, Gauri Gill\, Ladhki Devi\, Mariam Suhail\, Meera Mukherjee\, Mrinalini Mukherjee\, Rashmi Kaleka\, Shefalee Jain\, Sukanya Ghosh\, Vinnie Gill and Yoshiko Crow. \nTo 1 June. \nAbove: Chamba Rumal\, Tara.

SUMMARY:Hamilton: An American Musical
DESCRIPTION:The multi award winning musical is making its Middle Eastern debut for an extended run at Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena (to 11 February). Lin-Manuel Miranda’s book\, music and lyrics have created something of a revolutionary moment in theatre – it’s a musical that has genuinely had a profound impact on culture\, politics and education. It’s probably one of those opportunities that should grab if you can\, if only to check out whether the hype is justified … \nHamilton is a sung-and-rapped-through biography of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton and his involvement in the American Revolution; Miranda has described Hamilton as about “America then\, as told by America now”. \nWeekday performances are at 8pm (not Mondays) with prices from AED 180; weekends carry a price premium (seats from AED 240!) with two performances a day on most Saturdays and Sundays. Here’s the summary: \nWed 17 Jan 8pm\nThu 18 Jan 8pm\nFri 19 Jan 8pm\nSat 20 Jan 2pm\nSat 20 Jan 8pm\nSun 21 Jan 5pm\nMon 22 Jan NO SHOW\nTue 23 Jan 8pm\nWed 24 Jan 8pm\nThu 25 Jan 8pm\nFri 26 Jan 8pm\nSat 27 Jan 2pm\nSat 27 Jan 8pm\nSun 28 Jan 1pm\nSun 28 Jan 6.30pm\nMon 29 Jan NO SHOW\nTue 30 Jan 8pm\nWed 31 Jan 8pm\nThu 1 Feb 8pm\nFri 2 Feb 8pm\nSat 3 Feb 2pm\nSat 3 Feb 8pm\nSun 4 Feb 1pm\nSun 4 Feb 6.30pm\nMon 5 Feb NO SHOW\nTue 6 Feb NO SHOW\nWed 7 Feb 8pm\nThu 8 Feb 8pm\nFri 9 Feb 8pm\nSat 10 Feb 2pm\nSat 10 Feb 8pm\nSun 11 Feb 1pm\nSun 11 Feb 6.30pm\n

SUMMARY:Hatshepsut: The Woman Who Would Be King
DESCRIPTION:Actually\, she was king (sort of). This “groundbreaking immersive show” covers the life of Hatshepsut (c. 1507–1458 BCE)\, the fifth Pharaoh of Egypt’s Eighteenth Dynasty – ruling first as regent to her stepson Thutmose III\, then as queen regnant. She dressed and behaved much like a man in order to keep the court and the priests on side (hence presumably the reference to ‘king’). Famously her reign was a period of great prosperity and peace\, and of major building (like the Karnak Temple Complex and her own Mortuary Temple at Deir el-Bahari). After her death most of her images were destroyed and references to her erased; ain’t that always the way? \nSo there should be lots of material for this show\, which features 270-degree wall and floor projections and the promise that “you’ll be transported to the heart of the empire\, experiencing the customs\, beliefs\, and traditions that shaped Hatshepsut’s rule … in a captivating and unforgettable experience”. \nThe show lasts about 30 minutes and there are slots throughout the day between 10am and 8.30pm from 15 January to 18 February. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Tao Ye: 4
DESCRIPTION:Tao Ye’s choreographic works explore the potential of the human body beyond the limitations of representation or dramaturgical narrative.  In this performance piece\, the choreography is abstract – four fluid bodies flow in powerfully controlled movements around a magnetic central point\, relentlessly performing a fixed pattern of movements as if seeking to achieve oneness. The central point keeps them together\, but they cannot breach the distance between them. Minimal shifts in movement are masterfully built in throughout the performance\, drawing the audience into a slowly growing trance. \nPostponed from its original 7 January date in solidarity with the situation in Gaza\, this is part of the second season of Perform Sharjah\, Sharjah Art Foundation’s performance programme that invites you “to encounter new experiences while exploring the heritage houses and art spaces of the city”. Perform Sharjah\, which runs from October to February\, is curated by Sharjah Art Foundation’s Director of Performance and Senior Curator Tarek Abou El Fetouh. \n

SUMMARY:(No) Body is Translating
DESCRIPTION:The Jameel is running a third season of Night School\, a seminar programme where UAE residents can discuss urbanism and history in Dubai. Under this season’s theme\, There You Are\, participants will assess how much we can know about a place just by taking a good look around. The seminar itself is fully booked\, but there are three public events in Art Jameel’s lobby; this is one of them. \nAbu Dhabi-based writer Deepak Unnikrishnan will present the opening chapter to his first literary/artistic project in seven years\, Pettee. The lecture will focus on the role of the moving body in Gulf spaces as a translating device and sound machine\, and why he is convinced we must pay attention to community elders with Gulf roots: to document how they move/sound\, not only write what they say/remember. The project will continue in the spring with a dance and sonic collaboration at The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi. \n
