SUMMARY:Buika – An Evening for the Soul
DESCRIPTION:The US-based Spanish singer\, poet\, composer\, and music producer Concha Buika\, known for her characteristic fusion of flamenco with copla\, jazz\, soul\, and African polyrhythms\, brings her new show to Abu Dhabi for a one-off performance. \nShe has a stunning voice and an broad range of influences – “I understand all the musics of the world\,” she told an interviewer. “I believe I can sing in any language\, any rhythm.” Indeed\, she has duetted with everyone from Pat Metheny and Anoushka Shankar to Nelly Furtado and Seal; and she has nominations for the Latin Grammy Award Album of the Year (2008) and for Best Latin Jazz Album (in 2014\, for La Noche Más Larga). Her performances are always heartfelt\, often exciting\, and usually unmissable. Recommended.

SUMMARY:Candlelight: Beethoven's Best Works
DESCRIPTION:The title of this concert certainly sets the bar high\, though it seems a pretty good selection of the composer’s works for piano. The pianist is Magdalena Wajdzik\, and the other plus is the way these recitals are lit by candlelight. The programme last around 65 minutes: \n♦ “Für Elise” (Bagatelle no.25 in A minor)\n♦ Piano Sonata No.21 op.31 (Waldsten) – 1st movement\n♦ Piano Sonata op.13 ‘Pathetique’ – 1st\, 2nd and 3rd movements\n♦ Piano Sonata op. 27 No.2 (Moonlight) – 1st\, 2nd and 3rd movements\n♦ Symphony No.5 (transcription for solo piano by Liszt) – 1st Movement

SUMMARY:Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory: dir Mel Stuart (1971)
DESCRIPTION:The original and still the best musical version of Roald Dahl’s classic story of Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum)\, a little boy with no money but a good heart\, who dreams wistfully of being able to buy the candy that other children enjoy. Then he wins one of five Golden Tickets to visit the mysterious chocolate factory owned by the eccentric Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) with the chance to win a lifetime supply of chocolate … Another goodie from Cinema Space’s free programming.

SUMMARY:Olaf Breuning & Edgar Orlaineta: Yours or Mine?
DESCRIPTION:This is looking like a major show for Carbon 12\, with two of its mid-career stars; the gallery believes the works of Edgar Orlaineta (b.1972\, Mexico) and Olaf Breuning (b.1970\, Switzerland) “weave a captivating narrative of hybridity and environmental consciousness … Breuning’s woodcut paintings serve as poignant reminders of the delicate balance between the beauty of nature and the harsh realities of human-induced climate change\, while Orlaineta’s sculptural forms\, moulded through biomorphic shapes and post-war design\, invite introspection on the meditative process of handmade creations”. \nOrlaineta’s practice focuses on the relationship between art\, craft and the industrial\, with overarching themes of humour and craftsmanship – both of which he regards as very serious in their unseriousness\, and are an important part of his conceptual and spiritual commitment to his work. \nBreuning too can deploy humour\, mostly as irony\, but his work majors on the interconnectedness between human actions and the depletion of natural resources. For Breuning\, humans have created a world that is too fast paced for even us to keep up with. In that\, he simplifies his process to make his visual language more direct. The symbolism employed becomes universal\, and the colours used become vulnerability expressed. \nTo 14 November. \nAbove: Edgar Orlaineta\, The Charged Clouds (2020)

SUMMARY:Memory is the Seamstress
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition curated by Murtaza Vali\, featuring works by Hangama Amiri\, Cian Dayrit\, Melissa Joseph\, Lebohang Kganye\, Jagdeep Raina and Raed Yassin. \n“Memory is the seamstress\, and a capricious one at that. Memory runs her needle in and out\, up and down\, hither and thither. We know not what comes next\, or what follows after.” The Virginia Woolf quote proposes sewing a metaphor for the unpredictable processes of memory\, its ability to suture together the disparate fragments of daily life into a narrative fabric that can feel both connected and disjointed. \nShowcasing the diversity within textile arts\, this exhibition brings together artists using a variety of techniques\, from appliqué and felting to hand and machine embroidery\, to translate the photographic into fabric. Countering the instantaneity of photographic capture\, and the amnesia it paradoxically enables\, the gradual accumulative labour of textile work reintroduces the complex and unpredictable textures of memory\, creating room for imagination and play\, for affect and critique\, softening the sharp contours of an indexical record into a collage\, an impression\, an annotation\, an image\, “and a capricious one at that”. \nTo 3 November.

SUMMARY:Abdalla Al Omari: Unsuspecting State
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition featuring recent work by Abdalla Al Omari – his second solo show at the gallery\, but his first as a represented artist. \nAl Omari is clever with his use of scale and composition in representing the mundane to express themes that are everything but that: “he captures our quotidian and intimate gestures alluding to our deepest secrets and regrets\,” says the press release. “Deep beliefs and the most discrete thoughts come through when immortalising moments of everyday life. The unspoken taboos emanating through the movements\, sexuality\, religion\, and addiction\, are all part of the conversation … All along\, Abdalla plays with anonymity\, keeping things universal: The trivial and banal shared by the ordinary person.” \nTo 8 November. \nAbove: Abdalla Al Omari\, Between Before and After (2023)

SUMMARY:Karolina Krasouli: Arodo
DESCRIPTION:Karolina Krasouli presents a series of new and old works\, paintings\, drawings\, sketches and photographs that explore the intersection of abstraction and figuration. Through a process of reading and writing\, she extracts a set of operations for ‘rewriting’ meanings and sensations as a novel language.  These works are produced in a meditative process reached through repetition\, “prolonged to an extent that they contain time”. Most of them are detached from any recognizable references to the physical world. The viewer may stand in front of them as in front of a visual field\, creating continually a different relationship between proximity and distance. \nTo 7 November.

SUMMARY:The Quiet Girl: dir Colm Bairéad (2022)
DESCRIPTION:Nominated for Best International Feature at the 2023 Oscars Colm Bairéad’s beautifully understated feature debut finds a young girl coming to terms with loss and the importance of family in rural Ireland. Nine-year-old Cait (a terrific debut by Catherine Clinch) goes to live with her mother’s cousin for the summer\, and Eibhlín (Carrie Crowley) and her farmer husband Seán (Andrew Bennett) take Cait in to help alleviate her parents’ financial woes. Cait finds freedom in this new world along with the attention she so desperately needs. But there is an unspoken grief in the house\, one that Cait’s youthful curiosity begins to uncover … In Irish with English subtitles\, and highly recommended.

SUMMARY:Samia Halaby: Lasting Impressions
DESCRIPTION:The big autumn exhibition at the Sharjah Art Museum is a major retrospective for the NY-based Palestinian Samia Halaby\, featuring around 180 works of various sizes from abstract paintings and sculptures to documentary drawings and digital works. \nInternationally recognised as a leading abstract painter and an influential scholar of Palestinian art\, Halaby says she uses visual abstraction to convert what our senses have stored in our memory – “what the viewer and I already know” – into abstract visual form; her work “mirrors our shared perception of the world we live in”\, as she puts it. \nHalaby is also dedicated advocate for Palestinian rights\, though her experience of exile and displacement from her homeland 1948 rarely appears as content\, though the 16 illustrative drawings that document a heartbreaking historical event – the Kafr Qasim Massacre of 1956 – are a notable exception. She does however suggest that being loyal to abstraction is itself a political act\, and certainly she references Palestine in the titles of some of her works. \nThe exhibition is part of the Lasting Impressions series\, held annually at the Sharjah Art Museum and focussing on prominent Arab artists who have left a lasting impression on the development and evolution of modern art in the Arab world. The extent and curation of these exhibitions has always been very good; given the rich source material\, we expect nothing less from the Samia Halaby show. \nTo 7 January. \nAbove: Samia Halaby\, Damascus (2010) Below: Samia Halaby\, from the Kafr Qasem Massacre series (2017) \n \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Youth Orchestra: Concert for Children
DESCRIPTION:The Youth Orchestra is such a good idea: the International Music Institute— one of the oldest music schools in the country\, founded in 1994 — runs it as a free-of-charge programme for would-be music students in the United Arab Emirates\, selected through audition. The young musicians get a year of rehearsals and workshops with a series of public concerts (four are scheduled for 2023). \nFor this\, its second concert of the year\, the Youth Orchestra will be playing “music for the whole family and all-time kids favourites”. We have no idea exactly what’s on the programme.

SUMMARY:The Ladykillers
DESCRIPTION:It was a classic Alec Guinness Ealing comedy film of the 1950s and then a Coen Brothers remake (with massive infrastructure alterations) of 2004. Then in 2011 Graham Linehan adapted the 1955 original for the stage; it’s recognisable\, and you still get the innocent little old lady – the imaginative\, immovable Mrs Wilberforce – plus a corrupt gang\, their visionary leader\, and five deaths. But as Linehan has said\, “an adaptation is partly a collaboration. You are working with the (sometimes long-gone) author to give the best account you can of the source material. Often\, remaining what some call ‘faithful’ to the source is the worst way to achieve this …” \nIt’s still going to be a lot of fun\, “an action-packed black comedy” as the blurb has it – “with only a parrot and one of the dimmest members of Her Majesty’s constabulary on her side\, can Mrs. Wilberforce escape the fate that the gang has in store for her?” \nThere are further shows on 23 and 24 September.

SUMMARY:That Place
DESCRIPTION:This looks interesting: a series of monologues by women on the theme of “that place we escape to – in our mind – when sh*t hits the fan”. It’s a development of the Express Yourself sessions that have been running around dubai for a couple of years as a kind of open mic for acting talent. \nThe play is directed by Rosine Saad\, a name in the theatre scene in the city\, who also runs Express Yourself. As she puts it\, “Most of our battles are fought in our heads on a daily basis. We retreat to a dark place inside where our frustration\, anger\, and bad energy are set free. In this play\, this private and hidden place takes centerstage …” \nFeatures Afaf Bibi\, Aida Laubach\, Aishwarya Searing & TRE Dancers\, Alana Hicks\, Anika Ali\, Catherine Broad\, Farrah Yassin\, and Lamya Tawfik\, with live music by Noor and Ghina Mounzer. \nThere’s a second performance on 23 September. Both are free\, but pre-register – first come first served.

SUMMARY:Sal & Rushdi Do Comedy feat Saad Haroon
DESCRIPTION:Two of the Courtyard’s favourite performers with an evening of improv and stand-up. There are sets from Salman Qureshi\, who lays the groundwork by dissecting the absurdities of everyday life; and Rushdi Rafeek\, who takes those everyday observations and launches them into the stratosphere with his unique storytelling. After the interval\, Saad Haroon takes the stage with “a masterclass in razor-sharp social commentary\, turning the entire room into an orchestra of laughter”. The evening winds up with all three on stage for “a finale that promises to be as unpredictable as it is hilarious”. \nIt’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website); and it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early enough to grab a seat.
