SUMMARY:Naïssam Jalal and Hazem Shaheen
DESCRIPTION:A concert with flautist Naïssam Jalal and oudist Hazem Shaheen that brings together modern jazz and the classical Arabic tradition of improvised taqsim. Jalal has a storied career in collaborations across a variety of musical styles\, primarily in contemporary jazz but also with rap and recently in Indian music too; Shaheen is a noted Egyptian oud player\, singer\, and composer. The pair released their album Liqaa in 2018\, and their synergy suggests we will be in for an intimate and reflective evening of musical virtuosity.

SUMMARY:UAE National Orchestra: Abu Dhabi Festival
DESCRIPTION:Led by conductor François López-Ferrer\, recipient of the 2024 Sir Georg Solti Conducting Award\, the UAE National Orchestra opens the Abu Dhabi Festival’s 2026 season with what looks like a super programme. It kicks off with Franz von Suppé’s Overture to Light Cavalry\, full of bracing fanfares and galloping rhythms and irresistible high spirits. Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No.2 should be a real contrast\, with classical lyricism and brooding passion – it’s also one for the virtuoso\, and the soloist here is the much-lauded Georgian pianist David Khrikuli. And the concert culminates in Dvořák’s Symphony No.8\, lyrical\, pastoral\, tuneful and ultimately optimistic.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Hamad Almuzaini: Precarious Beings
DESCRIPTION:“What is the ultimate goal of a city?” asks architect/artist Hamad Almuzaini: “Governance and the streamlining of lived experience – an impossible task – or something more open\, broken\, and constantly reinvented?” The exhibition looks at placemaking within the context of Kuwait City\, considering everyday details\, overlooked objects\, and urban infrastructures that shape places to trace the subtle relationships between people\, objects\, systems\, and the built environment.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Golden Harvest\, Lasting Bloom
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition dedicated to the natural maturity\, abundance\, and fullness of autumn\, including works by Rimma Gagloeva\, Javlon Umarbekov\, Timur Akhmedov\, and Vera Nechaeva. Because each artist approaches the theme of autumn in their own way\, discovering a personal language through colour\, light\, form\, and painterly expression\, the exhibition is not simply a literal depiction of autumn – more an exploration of how the same natural motif can acquire entirely different artistic meanings.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Sara Masinaei: Boundaries and Breaches
DESCRIPTION:Sara Masinaei’s solo show explores how urban spaces shape memory\, movement and lived experience: “through walking\, collecting found objects and recording traces of overlooked surfaces\, she treats the city’s ground as an active part of how we experience and navigate our surroundings”\, says the gallery. Her works include monoprints created by pressing canvas directly on to urban surfaces\, plus sculptural pieces that explore the tension between order and disruption. \nThis work results from Dom Arts’ Studio Support Programme\, introduced to gave artists space and time to develop their practices without requiring them to produce new work or meet predetermined outcomes.

SUMMARY:Star Wars – A New Hope: dir George Lucas (1977)
DESCRIPTION:The original\, and possibly the best\, of the Star Wars mega-franchise. Written and directed by George Lucas\, and featuring one of the most dramatic intros ever\, this unmissable adventure introduced a galaxy of cleverly drawn characters – Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill)\, Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and his co-pilot Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew)\, and of course a masterful Jedi master in Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness). This is a newly restored version\, too. Essential viewing.

SUMMARY:Morgan Jay: The Goofy Guy
DESCRIPTION:The 38-year-old comedian and content creator coined the term ‘goofy guy’ to capture his mix of lighthearted crowdwork\, musical performance\, and playful irreverence. He works hard at the job\, though; he obviously takes show preparation seriously\, and as a result manages to make his comedy work really well online (his Instagram and TikTok shows\, where he sings and interacts with his audience using a microphone and autotune\, have followers numbered in the millions) as well as in person. Expect a show that blends stand-up comedy\, live music (often improvised)\, and spontaneous crowd interaction. He’s a lot of fun and deserves all the likes he gets …

SUMMARY:Mohamed Toukabri: Every-Body-Knows-What-Tomorrow-Brings-And-We-All-Know-What-Happened-Yesterday
DESCRIPTION:Known for his ability to navigate between different worlds – street and stage\, hip-hop and postmodernism\, personal and political – Mohamed Toukabri has a new solo work where movement becomes both excavation and rebellion.  Says SAF: “This piece pulses with the urgency of decolonising the imagination\, carving out a space where dance traditions do not compete but converse\, where forms long dismissed as ‘low’ hold their own against the canonised … The title is both a provocation and a reminder that the weight of history moves with us. What responsibility do we carry in what we pass on\, in what we erase or uphold?” \nThis is part of the fifth edition of Perform Sharjah\, Sharjah Art Foundation’s season of curated performances that serve as an engaging space for exploring\, remembering and imagining – “treating the body as a site of artistic inquiry\, the programme shifts fluidly between intimate reflection and collective experience”.

SUMMARY:Mo Gilligan: The Mo You Know
DESCRIPTION:Multi-award-winning British comedian Mo Gilligan is stopping off at the Dubai Comedy Festival with his new show\, 90 minutes of solid material delivered with characteristic high-energy delivery. He’s moved seamlessly from viral one-minute internet sketches to sold-out hour-plus arena shows in a few short years – this show has been touring all around the world since January and it isn’t over yet – and he comes across as the kind of bloke whose success you can’t begrudge. Recommended.
