SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Sarah Alagroobi: Slanted Dreamscape
DESCRIPTION:Alagroobi’s evocative\, highly textured landscapes provide a glimpse into “a world where reality and imagination intersect”. Her practice celebrates the physical and metaphysical\, using layers of acrylic to sculpt imagined landscapes that blur the boundaries between the tangible and the abstract; the gallery says her paintings “offer a direct and unfiltered representation of her artistic process\, presenting depth and surface in their most authentic forms”.

SUMMARY:The Ice Hole – A Cardboard Comedy
DESCRIPTION:This production debuted for four performances in May and two in July; all sold out (deservedly). It’s now back for a run at Theatre by QE2\, and it’s highly recommended. \nIt’s an English version of an award-winning French comedy from 2021\, Les Gros Patinent Bien\, by Pierre Guillois and Olivier Martin-Salvan. They reworked the original for an Anglophone audience at the Edinburgh Festival as The Ice Hole\, and 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. Matthew T Corbett directs Sadiq Saboowala and Patrick Albrecht\, two-time winners of the local Short+Sweet Dubai Theatre Festival\, for Complices Théâtre. \n

SUMMARY:Xue Bao | Snow Leopard (dir Pema Tseden\, China\, 2023)
DESCRIPTION:This is a story about how people and animals can finally get along. A snow leopard\, rare and globally endangered\, breaks into the pen of a herder family and kills nine goats. The father and son argue about what to do: the son wants to kill the snow leopard\, the father insists on releasing it since the animal represents the spirit of the mountains. It’s a scenario that summarises the clash between traditional values and contemporary developments in a modernising Tibet; Tseden\, who died before the film could be released\, devoted his career to illustrating the complexities of modern life in his native land\, and his final completed feature is no exception. \nScreens with Shift (dir Sherine Raffoul and Moussa Shabandar\, Lebanon\, 2024: 18 min)\, a documentary short about Chadi Saad; once an enthusiast bird hunter\, he has made a 360° turn and condemns hunting as criminal. \nThis programme is part of the Al Sidr Environmental Film Festival\, a collaboration between NYUAD and Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi

SUMMARY:Agraharathil Kazhuthai | Donkey in a Brahmin Village (dir John Abraham\, 1977)
DESCRIPTION:A college professor faces ridicule when he adopts a newborn donkey after its mother is killed. He leaves Madras and takes the foal to his home village\, against the norms of his community. Bad things start to happen\, and the villagers blame the donkey; they kill it\, and magically miracles beginning happening in the village. The villagers erect a shrine to the donkey\, but they get their comeuppance … Abraham’s Tamil-language satire on social norms among high-caste Brahmins was originally shunned but has since attained cult status. \nScreens with two shorts by Kim Elias Majdalani\, No Man’s Land (6 min) about a dead zone on the disputed southern borders of Lebanon\, where wildlife thrives in the absence of human settlement; and Revenge of Nature (12 min)\, how nature reclaims its territory through ecological succession after an area has been abandoned by humans. \nThis programme is the final event of the Al Sidr Environmental Film Festival\, a collaboration between NYUAD and Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi.

SUMMARY:Mute
DESCRIPTION:This experimental theatre piece by the Kuwaiti director and playwright Sulayman Al Bassam examines that brief moment of silence that followed the Beirut port explosion of 2020. Produced with actress Hala Omran and the band Two or The Dragon\, the performance blends music and singing with prose and audiovisual elements. A wide departure from the norms of Arab theatre\, the play’s structure is likened by Abou El Fetouh to that of a poem. \nMute has won awards at the Carthage Theatre Festival and the Cairo International Experimental Theatre Festival. Part of Sharjah Art Foundation’s Perform Sharjah programme\, Mute is co-presented by the Sharjah Performing Arts Academy.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE I Wish To Be Happy\, I Want To Be Yellow
DESCRIPTION:A group show for an eclectic collection of artists — Mohammad Alfaraj\, Aminah Al huqail\, Dalia Baassiri\, Richi Bhatia\, Jumairy\, Tamara Kalo\, Adrian Pepe\, and Alia Zaal. The common factor is that they “cultivate a visceral and intimate relationship with nature” and “blur temporal boundaries between presence and absence\, fullness and lack\, past and present\, engaging in generative rites that foster creation\, fertility\, and renewal … Bodies morph\, adapt\, and redefine themselves\, existing in states of transition and transformation … They embody the power of attraction and interaction\, functioning as entities that react and interact with their surroundings”. \nFighting though the thickets of verbiage\, this looks like it could be a top show for the new season: the participants are all interesting\, provocative artists with something to say and novel ways of saying it. \n

SUMMARY:Dancing Pina: dir Florian Heinzen-Ziob (2022)
DESCRIPTION:Two spectacular dance projects show how a young generation of dancers from all over the world are rediscovering Pina Bausch’s choreography: the Semperoper Ballet Company in Dresden rehearses her dance opera Iphigenia in Tauris\, and dancers from all over Africa rehearse Bausch’s ballet Le Sacre du Printemps at the École des Sables in Senegal. Dancers from traditions street dance\, classical ballet\, traditional and modern African dance transform Pina Bausch’s work – and Pina’s choreography transforms the dancers. A visually intense and emotionally charged journey into the world of modern dance and beyond. \nThe screening\, in the MOVE ON FILM season\, is followed by a talk and Q&A with Jean Laurent Sasportes (a principal dancer with the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch from 1979 to 1997 who has continued to be involved with the Pina Bausch repertoire).

SUMMARY:Gallant Indies | Les Indes galantes: dir Philippe Béziat (2021)
DESCRIPTION:On the stage of the Opéra Bastille in Paris\, 30 dancers from non-traditional genres – hip-hop\, krump\, break\, voguing – reprise and remix Jean-Philippe Rameau’s baroque 1735 masterpiece\, Les Indes galantes. It’s an opera offensive to modern sensibilities that reflected French colonial expansion and represented the myth of the noble savage; this documentary follows the cast over the course of a year as they take the idea from concept to stage\, culminating in a performance run at the Opéra Bastille. The modern mix of urban dance and opera singing represents both a human adventure and a meeting of political realities: so can a new generation of artists storm the Bastille today? Screens in the MOVE ON FILM season.

DESCRIPTION:Hala Dabaji’s distinctive paintings feature an androgynous character called Obu (“he has a challenging spirit”) created in acrylic on canvas and more recently watercolour on fabric; the flatness and stylised hand gestures suggest a form of communicating that echoes shadow play. Dabaji\, who lives and works in Beirut\, also works in photography\, sculpture and drawing; she also has a fashion line\, Les Têtes d’Obu.

SUMMARY:The Woman in Black
DESCRIPTION:Susan Hill’s elegantly eerie ghost story has been seen by more than seven million people in the stage adaptation by Stephen Mallatratt\, and very few will have been disappointed (or unshaken). A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family engages a sceptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It all begins innocently enough\, but as they reach further into his darkest memories\, the borders between make-believe and reality begin to blur as the Woman in Black reveals her terrible purpose … \nThe Daily Telegraph called it “the most brilliantly effective spine-chiller you will ever encounter”; the Guardian went with “one of British theatre’s biggest – and scariest – hits”.

SUMMARY:Vian Sora: House of Pearls
DESCRIPTION:New paintings and works on paper from the Louisville-based artist that explore pearls as “a metaphor for achieving stability and the needed structural integrity for life itself to regenerate”. Drawing on her experiences as a war survivor and immigrant (Iraqi-born\, she sought refuge in Dubai following the US invasion of Iraq) Sora reflects on the uncertainty and shifting boundaries of existence\, capturing the physical\, mental\, and emotional toll experienced across nations\, cultures\, and time. “Her paintings reveal the complex nature of identity and seek cohesion like the iridescent layers of a natural pearl” says the gallery. To 5 December. \nAbove: Vian Sora\, Olivine (2024)

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Randa Maddah: Hanging Gardens
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural solo exhibition of the Syrian visual artist whose practice spans painting\, drawing\, sculpture\, video\, and installation. In this recent work\, Maddah repurposes the vocabulary of traditional miniature paintings to depict “dream-like scenes that negotiate themes of belonging\, resilience\, rootedness\, rebirth\, and renewal through natural elements … The work embodies the notion of a spirit shaped by harsh and absurd realities\, exploring themes of ecstasy\, liberation\, and reincarnation … Reflecting on transcendence and rebirth\, Maddah suggests that the body is merely a garment the soul sheds to wear anew\, offering hope that death is simply a gateway to a new life”.

SUMMARY:Pina: dir Wim Wenders (2011)
DESCRIPTION:A captivating dance documentary that celebrates the life and work of the world-renowned choreographer Pina Bausch. During the preparations for the film in 2009\, Bausch died suddenly; the dancers of Bausch’s company\, Tanztheater Wuppertal\, convinced him to proceed as a way of memorializing Bausch and her choreography. The film has four major stage performances actually rehearsed by Bausch\, interspersed with solo and duet dances from many of Bausch’s other works; many of the dancers relate their stories of working with Pina. As a result\, Pina is a tribute to an extraordinary artist who redefined the boundaries of modern dance. The screening\, in the MOVE ON FILM season\, is followed by a talk and Q&A with Jean Laurent Sasportes (a principal dancer with the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch from 1979 to 1997 who has continued to be involved with the Pina Bausch repertoire).

SUMMARY:Max Richter: The Four Seasons Recomposed
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to the classical repertoire\, you don’t get much more mainstream than Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. It seems dangerous\, even perhaps sacrilegious\, to tinker with this much loved\, immensely popular music. But because it has been played so often and by so many virtuosi\, maybe there’s now nothing new to say with the piece. So Max Richter\, the contemporary classical composer of music for stage\, opera\, ballet\, screen and concert hall\, decided to rework it from the ground up. \nHis innovative take on Vivaldi’s classic\, first heard in 2012\, retains the emotional depth of the original while introducing a contemporary soundscape – Richter has said that he had discarded 75 percent of Vivaldi’s original material\, but the parts he does use are phased and looped to provide a dynamic\, modern twist. The result is a true orchestral work\, albeit with some respectably subtle electronic treatments here and there. Reviews of performances and recordings have ranged from the incurably bewildered and damning to grudging respect and outright enthusiasm\, so it will be at the least interesting to see how Vivaldi can be introduced to the 21st century … \nIt’s performed at Dubai Opera by the Kyiv Virtuosi chamber orchestra\, led by conductor Dmitry Yablonsky\, with the much-feted Ukrainian violinist Anastasiya Petryshak.
