SUMMARY:Raed Yassin: Allegorical Ruins
DESCRIPTION:Yassin explores the implications of Roland Barthes’ concept of “the return of the dead” in photography\, playing on the tension between memory and ghostliness by utilising old black and white photographs to evoke loss and the fleeting nature of memory. Yassin’s work also encompasses themes of urban decay and political upheaval\, with a particular focus on Beirut; but despite the mantle of loss and ruin\, Yassin infuses his art with moments of hope\, prompting viewers to reflect on memory’s complexities and consider the possibility of renewal amidst the remnants of the past. To 27 June. \nAbove: Raed Yassin\, The company of silver spectres (2021)

SUMMARY:Reverberations: Textile as Echo
DESCRIPTION:The second of three exhibitions showcasing contemporary approaches to textile and fibre art curated for Green Art Gallery by Murtaza Vali. It brings together work by four contemporary artists – M’barek Bouhchichi\, Sayan Chanda\, Himali Singh Soin\, and Swapnaa Tamhane – that references the rich and diverse history and practice of textile arts across South and West Asia and North Africa. \nOften made in collaboration with master artisans\, the included artworks use a variety of traditional dyeing and weaving techniques and materials: wool cloth made in southeastern Morocco and then stained with henna; a handwoven tapestry and a patchwork abstraction that incorporate deconstructed vintage quilts and scarves from Bengal; Ikat fabric dyed and woven in Andhra Pradesh; and industrially made cotton embellished by hand with wood block printing and mirror embroidery in the desert region of Kutch\, Gujarat. “Countering colonial and modernist discourses that devalued such Indigenous textile traditions as mere craft\, these works reclaim their vitality as a mode of contemporary expression. Complicating modernist notions of autonomy and authorship through collaboration\, they blur commonly held distinctions between object and process\, form and ornament\, past and future\, and the handmade and the digital. And much like the traditional techniques and processes they invoke\, these artworks remind us that textile is always a multisensory medium\, resonating across visual\, sonic\, and bodily registers …” \nTo 12 June.

SUMMARY:Dima Srouji: Charts for a Resurrection
DESCRIPTION:The first-ever solo exhibition for artist\, architect and researcher Dima Srouji\, whose work acts as a form of political commentary and as a place-making (or un-making) tool – “Interested in the ground\, objects\, displacement\, restitution\, forgeries\, and living archives\, the artist looks for potential ruptures in the ground where imaginary liberation is possible.” Srouji collaborates closely with archaeologists\, anthropologists\, glass blowers and sound designers to develop her architectural projects\, installations\, product designs\, and writing. Working across a diverse range of media including glass\, text\, archival materials\, maps\, and film\, Srouji questions ideas of identity and globalisation through historic strata and space\, in connection to the spirit of a place and displacement. \nThe exhibition is conceived as two distinct spaces\, the larger terrain and the more intimate chapel\, comprising installations and archival prints that intertwine historical artefacts with imaginary archaeological sites. To 25 May.

SUMMARY:Khalid Jauffer: Looking\, dwelling\, leaving
DESCRIPTION:Jauffer is an artist who deals in the metaphoric potential of everyday objects\, find the ironies in his everyday surroundings ad teasing out the spatial\, poetic relationships between his subjects and their frangible correlation to human beings. “Discarded objects and broken things are legible to a bypasser primarily as ends\, trash\, the leftovers of a story that’s done being told; it is through a process of care and attention that Khalid transforms found ends into beginnings\, unravelling tightly wound threads of human fragility encased in unremarkable shells … The simple act of looking is a necessary precursor to finding\, it is crucially differentiated from ‘seeking’ in that it is open-ended: it doesn’t prescribe its outcome …” \nTo 28 June.

SUMMARY:Ala Ebtekar: The Sky of the Seven Valleys
DESCRIPTION:Ebtekar’s exhibition is presented as “one work in seven chapters”\, each composed of one to four doorway-sized panels that combine multi-wavelength photographic processes with the artist’s distinctive cloud-making brushstrokes. Inspired by Farid ud-Din Attar’s Sufi poem Conference of the Birds\, Ebtekar’s series follows the journeys of 30 birds through seven valleys of enlightenment: Quest\, Love\, Knowledge\, Detachment\, Unity\, Wonderment\, Poverty\, and Annihilation. Says the gallery: “As spectators confront these larger-than-life prints\, they find themselves immersed in a landscape where the atmosphere itself becomes the canvas of the cosmos\, blurring the boundaries between observer and the observed”. \nTo 28 June.

SUMMARY:The Ice Hole
DESCRIPTION:The final two performances for this hit comedy two-hander by Pierre Guillois and Olivier Martin-Salvan\, reworked from the French original for an Anglophone audience at last year’s Edinburgh Festival. There were rave reviews for a show that has an imposing Shakespearian actor telling incredible stories of a man journeying through Europe under the curse of a mermaid he’d absent-mindedly caught in a fjord. The actor is accompanied by a put-upon flunky (maybe a stage manager?) who strives with the help of hastily-scribbled cardboard signs and boxes to help us understand the meaning of this journey … \nIt’s fun\, mad as trumpets\, with echoes of Monty Python\, Laurel and Hardy\, and the Mighty Boosh; and it’s well worth an evening of your time. \nMatthew T Corbett directs Sadiq Saboowala and Patrick Albrecht for Complices Théâtre. There are shows at 2pm and 8pm today.

SUMMARY:Miramar Al Nayyar: Moving Through the Ether
DESCRIPTION:A collection of abstract figurative works on canvas\, “inviting viewers into a realm of recognition and constant metamorphosis … Each 190 x 120cm canvas serves as a conduit for Miramar’s endeavour to encapsulate the essence of the natural formations of the desert. Eschewing representation\, Miramar aims to distil the essence of these natural phenomena that also lie within natural movement; her bodily movement\, onto her canvases —the intricate textures\, lifeforms\, and undulating terrain—evoking a sense of abstracted organic forms.” To 30 May.

DESCRIPTION:Spectacular and crowd-pleasing genre-crossing work from Moscow’s hottest contemporary dance company\, created by celebrity choreographer Alla Duhova in 1986 and still led by her.

There are performances at 3pm and 8pm; the ticket also buys you a 20 percent discount on food and drink at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray.

SUMMARY:Drawing Time: Duets
DESCRIPTION:New and historical works by 15 intergenerational artists in the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection that explore drawing as a practice. The exhibition grew out of a two-year research project into conserving paper; it seeks to re-examine the very nature of drawing as a culturally situated disciplinary practice – one that begins in the mind and extends into myriad material forms. It also delves into the concept of the double\, the pair\, the rejoinder: “acts of repetition accumulate through a curated scenography\, in which artistic duets – duos who dance and sing together\, who\, through the right dissonance or imperfect resonance\, find themselves in a state of harmony – guiding visitors across a century in time”. \nThe artists included in the exhibition are Baya\, Mounir Canaan\, Kimathi Donkor\, Ibrahim El-Salahi\, Theaster Gates\, Kamala Ibrahim Ishag\, Claudette Johnson\, Amal Kenawy\, Helen Khal\, Omer Khairy\, David Koloane\, Farideh Lashai\, Ibrahim Massouda\, Eduard Puterbrot and Hassan Sharif. \nTo 4 August. \nAbove: Omer Khairy\, Untitled (1983)

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Katya Muromtseva: Over the Slopes of Speech
DESCRIPTION:The New-York based artist gets her first show in the UAE\, featuring works she created in Dubai during her time at the NIKA Project Space Research and Residency programme – monumental watercolour triptychs that relate to the narratives and histories of women immigrants. Muromtseva is known for her socially engaged practice and large-scale paintings\, videos\, and installations that refer to personal and collective memory; these works are based on interactions the artist had with immigrants\, both in the USA and during a month-long visit to the UAE as part of the residency. The resulting watercolours aim to capture the resilience of these women and delve into themes of home\, borders\, refugees\, and human destinies.

SUMMARY:The Ice Hole
DESCRIPTION:This is an English version of an award-winning French comedy from 2021\, Les Gros Patinent Bien\, by Pierre Guillois and Olivier Martin-Salvan. That was a story which began with boxes: in the corner of a rehearsal room\, deprived of stage and audience by the pandemic\, Guillois and Martin-Salvan – long-term friends who work as a double act – came across some cardboard and began to improvise situations using the apparently thankless material. \nThey reworked the original for an Anglophone audience at last year’s Edinburgh Festival as The Ice Hole. There were rave reviews for a show that has an imposing Shakespearian actor telling incredible stories of a man journeying through Europe under the curse of a mermaid he’d absent-mindedly caught in a fjord. The actor is accompanied by a put-upon flunky (maybe a stage manager?) who strives with the help of hastily-scribbled cardboard signs and boxes to help us understand the meaning of this journey … \nIt’s fun\, mad as trumpets\, with echoes of Monty Python\, Laurel and Hardy\, and the Mighty Boosh; and it’s well worth an evening of your time. \nMatthew T Corbett directs Sadiq Saboowala and Patrick Albrecht for Complices Théâtre. There are further shows on 4 and 5 May.

SUMMARY:World Art Dubai 2024
DESCRIPTION:World Art Dubai is back for its tenth edition\, with more than 4\,000 artworks from 300+ galleries and individual artists who come from more than 60- different countries. WAD has grown out of its early days as a simple lo-fi affordable art fair into a bustling\, buzzy four days celebrating art in many of its manifestations. There will be lots of live art performances\, workshops\, street art and fashion\, talks and more alongside the commercial art. It’s still affordable (prices from $100\, we’re told); and since there’s no jury to oversee applications\, it’s likely to be variable in quality. But then that’s all part of the vibe … \nWAD is open 1pm to 9pm. As well as the single adult ticket at AED 25\, there’s reduced-price entry for kids aged 13-18 and family tickets at AED 55 (two adults one child) and AED 65 (two adults\, two children). All of these represent a modest but noticeable increase on 2023 prices …

SUMMARY:Cirque Du Soleil: CRYSTAL
DESCRIPTION:The second weekend for “a truly breathtaking entertainment phenomenon”\, with Cirque du Soleil exploring brand-new creative territory by combining its signature acrobatics with ice-skating. So acrobats and skaters perform on the ice and in the air\, seamlessly combining disciplines from both genres as the ice is transformed into “a dynamic stage where precision skating mingles with awe-inspiring aerial feats and acrobatic prowess”. \nThe technology should be pretty spectacular too – state-of-the-art infrared trackers with 36 spotlights and 28 powerful projectors should create a visually stunning experience for the performers to move through. And no two performances will be exactly alike\, with the action unfolding dynamically around the skaters and acrobats. The soundtrack looks characteristically strong\, too\, with the likes of Sia’s Chandelier\, Sinner Man by Nina Simone\, and A Beautiful Day by U2. \nAs usual with Cirque du Soleil shows\, there’s a storyline – Crystal\, a young girl who feels misunderstood\, goes on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. The whole show is about looking at things through fresh angles\, peeking through the veneer of everyday life\, and reframing one’s daily realities. \nShow times: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n2 May – 7.30pm\n3 May – 7.30pm\n4 May – 3.30 and 7.30pm\n5 May – 3.30pm

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:Ten actors converge for a night of scenes\, songs and games based on audience suggestions. After each round you score the players on a scale of 1 to 5\, and the one with the lowest score is eliminated. Eventually only one remains\, to be crowned the Maestro. “Fast-paced\, unpredictable\, and hilarious” says the promo\, and you couldn’t argue with that. As with all Courtyard improv evenings it’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. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

She has the challenging task of balancing the storyline with the energies of the audience\, who are invited to participate and even improvise during the show. \nThe play is performed in Arabic with simultaneous English translation. There are further performances on 2 and 3 May.
