SUMMARY:The Old Oak: dir Ken Loach (2023)
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes Ken Loach films can seem a bit of a constant battering of messages about social incohesion and unfairness. At their best\, though\, they are suffused with empathy and idealism along with the anger and the black-and-white morality; and The Old Oak is one of those. The Oak itself is a rundown pub\, metaphorically and actually the centre of passes for community in a cash-strapped corner of the north-east of England that has been suffering a slow\, painful decline since the coalmine closures of the 1980s. The arrival of a group of Syrian refugees provides a flashpoint for xenophobic tensions\, but The Old Oak’s landlord strikes up an unlikely friendship with a young female refugee. They find similarities in their situation and come up with a plan to bring the two traumatised communities together … There’s a plea for open-hearted compassion and a message of hope and solidarity in a film which starts so bleakly as a comment on modern Britain. As the Guardian put it\, “Ken Loach could hardly have delivered a more resonant\, timely or indeed angry swansong than this feature which takes up arms against the decay of national compassion and makes a statement of faith in compassion for the oppressed.”. Recommended.

SUMMARY:The Fugitive: dir Andrew Davis (1993)
DESCRIPTION:Harrison Ford is on top form as the Chicago surgeon framed for the murder of his wife who aims to prove his innocence by leading his pursuers (led by Tommy Lee Jones\, playing Tommy Lee Jones) to the man who actually committed the crime. The Cinema Space blurb calls it “a stellar showcase for Ford’s pathos\, physicality\, and intensity”; it’s also a breathless thriller with some brilliant action set pieces that transcends the original TV series by a country mile. Recommended\, especially in this newly restored print.

SUMMARY:Cirque Dreams: Elysion
DESCRIPTION:“A breathtaking journey through a land of pure imagination and wonder … an extraordinary adventure into a world of fantasy and awe” promises the blurb\, adding “the audience is transported to an ethereal garden atmosphere\, alive with animated creatures that embody the tranquillity and chaos of nature”. \nIf you think the description of the show – a “vivid\, three-dimensional world is filled with astonishing acrobatics\, captivating choreography\, and beautiful costumes” – sounds like Cirque du Soleil\, you’d be right; although started independently\, Cirque Dreams was acquired by Cirque du Soleil’s owners in 2018 and runs as a kind of junior operation. Its shows are still spectacular demonstrations of modern circus arts and high-tech staging (especially lighting)\, but they tend to be smaller and perhaps less pretentious than the parent company’s productions. \nThe current show apparently draws inspiration from the concept of Elysium\, “a place of perfect happiness and eternal peace” – in Greek mythology it was the paradise where heroes went if the gods had conferred immortality of them. In the Cirque Dreams interpretation with the adapted name it’s rather different\, a garden setting “where every creature\, from the tiniest insect to the grandest display\, contributes to the tapestry of life … The fusion of an immersive production design\, other-worldly costume designs\, and the unparalleled skill of our performers brings this blissful garden to life”. \nThe lustre have gone from the ‘new circus’ idea\, and it’s unlikely that Elysion will “redefine the boundaries of circus artistry and theatricality” as the press release suggests; but it should still make for a decent evening’s entertainment – especially with tickets starting at a modest AED 75. \nThere are two shows a day at 3pm and 6.30pm in a purpose built tent in Al Ain Square\, right by Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium. The upcoming dates: \n31 August 3pm and 6.30pm\n1 September 3pm and 6.30pm \n6 September 3pm and 6.30pm\n7 September 3pm and 6.30pm\n8 September 3pm and 6.30pm

SUMMARY:Tom Alban: Validation
DESCRIPTION:An opportunity to see one of the rising stars of British stand-up before he really gets famous (he’s also an actor\, so he has two chances). Expect clever storytelling and relatable anecdotes\, infectious humour\, and really good crowd work … This is a version of a show he previewed at the Normal for Norfolk festival in July; it sold out\, and he was (by all accounts) excellent. The always reliable Imah Dumagay hosts\, the effervescent Arab-Irish comic Sahar Ali has the opening act.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Hussein Sharif: Re-framing Reality

SUMMARY:The Lost King: dir Stephen Frears (2022)
DESCRIPTION:Based on a true story – the discovery of the remains of Richard III under a Leicester car park in 2021 – this is the story of amateur historian Philippa Langley (Sally Hawkins at her best)\, whose passion and research were met with scepticism by the academic establishment. A tale of discovery\, obsession\, and stolen glory (both then and now)\, The Lost King is a magical adventure illuminated by one woman’s awakened sense of purpose. It’s beautifully acted and very well directed\, too.

SUMMARY:Cie Hervé Koubi: Sol Invictus
DESCRIPTION:The new NYUAD Arts Center season opens with a spectacular new show from the returning Compagnie Hervé Koubi. Koubi is building a reputation for stunning choreography that blends contemporary dance and kinetic urban moves; this piece features no fewer than 17 male and female dancers who perform as a cohesive unit\, emphasising collective responsibility and personal accountability that celebrates the unifying power of dance in a turbulent world. When this show premiered in New York earlier this year the New York Times called it “thrilling … amazing … the dancers’ extraordinary moves are integrated into a poetic vision … the distinctive aesthetic achievement of this company is to make those extraordinary acrobatics and hip-hop power moves feel at times pedestrian\, almost like walking”. \nVery highly recommended\, especially at The Arts Center’s ticket prices; there’s a second performance tomorrow (6 September) \nSol Invictus is presented with the support of Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels.

SUMMARY:Mamma Roma: dir Pier Paolo Pasolini (1962)
DESCRIPTION:Pasolini’s audacious second feature is a tale of doomed maternal love set against a stark backdrop of ancient ruins and prefab apartment blocks on the desolate outskirts of Rome. Anna Magnani is superb as a middle-aged streetwalker who attempts to extricate herself from her sordid past and provide a decent life for her teenage son; the criminal underworld she thought she had escaped slowly returns to haunt her … Highlighting Pasolini’s lifelong fascination with the marginalised and dispossessed\, Mamma Roma offers an unflinching\, neorealistic look at the struggle for survival in postwar Italy. \nIn Italian with English subtitles.

SUMMARY:Ayesha Sultana: Fragility and Resilience
DESCRIPTION:The first major solo show in the GCC for the Bangladesh-born US-based artist. Her practice spans drawing\, painting and sculpture\, “exploring the material and conceptual possibilities of form and medium … Sultana proposes that fragility can be a form of strength while encompassing profound vulnerability. This thematic exploration is particularly pertinent in the contemporary world as social\, ecological and personal upheavals continually test the limits of sustainability”. \nThe exhibition has new oil paintings\, watercolours on Japanese silk tissue\, works on clay-coated paper\, hand-blown glass sculptures\, and some past photographic explorations. Interestingly\, there’s also a hint of the creative process through the inclusion of sketchbooks\, diaries\, in-progress artworks and an unfinished video. This kind of soul-baring is all too rare in conventional gallery shows; sometimes it can get in the way of the works themselves\, but obviously there will be occasions when the artist (and/or the gallerist) understands that it might provide additional insights. As the blurb puts it\, these additions “reveal the meticulous planning\, experimentation and emotional investment underlying each finished piece\, highlighting the fragility and resilience inherent in all creative acts … The exhibition reflects the fluidity and openness that characterise Sultana’s approach to art\, allowing viewers to witness the raw\, unpolished stages of her creative journey”. \nTo 7 December. \nAbove: Ayesha Sultana\, Inhabiting Our Bodies (2024).

SUMMARY:Cirque Dreams: Elysion
DESCRIPTION:“A breathtaking journey through a land of pure imagination and wonder … an extraordinary adventure into a world of fantasy and awe” promises the blurb\, adding “the audience is transported to an ethereal garden atmosphere\, alive with animated creatures that embody the tranquillity and chaos of nature”. \nIf you think the description of the show – a “vivid\, three-dimensional world is filled with astonishing acrobatics\, captivating choreography\, and beautiful costumes” – sounds like Cirque du Soleil\, you’d be right; although started independently\, Cirque Dreams was acquired by Cirque du Soleil’s owners in 2018 and runs as a kind of junior operation. Its shows are still spectacular demonstrations of modern circus arts and high-tech staging (especially lighting)\, but they tend to be smaller and perhaps less pretentious than the parent company’s productions. \nThe current show apparently draws inspiration from the concept of Elysium\, “a place of perfect happiness and eternal peace” – in Greek mythology it was the paradise where heroes went if the gods had conferred immortality of them. In the Cirque Dreams interpretation with the adapted name it’s rather different\, a garden setting “where every creature\, from the tiniest insect to the grandest display\, contributes to the tapestry of life … The fusion of an immersive production design\, other-worldly costume designs\, and the unparalleled skill of our performers brings this blissful garden to life”. \nThe lustre have gone from the ‘new circus’ idea\, and it’s unlikely that Elysion will “redefine the boundaries of circus artistry and theatricality” as the press release suggests; but it should still make for a decent evening’s entertainment – especially with tickets starting at a modest AED 75. \nThere are two shows a day at 3pm and 6.30pm in a purpose built tent in Al Ain Square\, right by Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium. The last two dates are … \n7 September 3pm and 6.30pm\n8 September 3pm and 6.30pm

SUMMARY:The 7 Sins
DESCRIPTION:We’re always happy to promote local talent\, and this series of playlets is written by three Dubai-based playwrights (Dee Gee\, Edwige Narbey\, Alex Broun) Dee Gee directs; they are set in Dubai on New Year’s fireworks time\, and the show features cast and crew drawn from 11 different nationalities – which is about as Dubai as you could get. The sins aren’t explicitly deadly\, but we are getting a modern take on them – with the emphasis on social media. The underlying idea is that vices like these can evolve with time; “as an audience\, we will experience the sins in today’s world and how our daily lives invite us to sin\, perhaps not always in our control …” Should be a good evening (and there are two more to follow\, on 7 and 8 September). \n

SUMMARY:Layla Kaylif
DESCRIPTION:The British-Emirati singer-songwriter (and occasional filmmaker) Layla Kaylif celebrates the 25th anniversary of her hit single Shakespeare in Love with this one-night-only gig. (Hopefully it will include her very cool Arabic version of Hallelujah as well.) Joining her will be DJ Ramzy Shaar\, a staple in Dubai’s music scene. (Incidentally there’s a 20% discount on F&B at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray for ticket holders.)

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE backbone
DESCRIPTION:studio salasil has curated this group show of six artists “who engage in risk and interruption within their practices”\, structuring the exhibition around the effective concept of the backbone – “a central\, internal structure of strength that binds and connects things together\, embodying our internal worlds and expanded senses of function and feeling. The metaphorical meaning is similar to the figurative translation of the word\, سند in Arabic\, which refers to someone who has your back. Through the interrogation of the word\, backbone explores the complexities and fragilities of these structures which at times can be exposed\, excavated or elusive …” \nThe artists: \nNour Malas\nMalik Thomas Jalil Kydd\nKaïs Dhifi\nAlia Hamaoui\nJana Ghalayini\nAudrey Large & Théophil Blande \nThis should be an interesting show\, if studio salasil’s ambitions and past work are any guide. Describing itself as “a future-focusing curatorial studio tending to care\, research and experimentation”\, salasil also did the rather good Crystal Clear show at Bayt Al Mamzar last year.

SUMMARY:Ghizlane Agzenaï: Kaleidoscope
DESCRIPTION:The Moroccan artist’s debut Middle East exhibition is described by the gallery as “a milestone event that offers a unique opportunity to experience Agzenaï’s vibrant and dynamic art in person”. On show is a collection of Agzenaï’s signature totems and geometric abstractions\, crafted to blur the boundaries of reality blur – “every line\, angle\, and hue in Agzenaï’s work serves as a gateway to a deeper understanding of the self and the world around us”. Hyperbole aside\, her colourful assemblies of geometrical areas and abstract lines owes something to street art\, something to postmodern abstraction\, maybe even something to Bridget Riley; they’re bold\, outspoken\, entertaining works. Recommended. \nTo 4 October. \nAbove: Ghizlane Agzenaï\, Totem Daupherm (2024)
