SUMMARY:Sheher\, Prakriti\, Devi
DESCRIPTION:Riffing on the interwoven relationship between cities\, the natural environment and the sacred\, this show presents work by 12 artists and collectives working across diverse contexts of urban\, rural\, domestic\, communitarian\, public and non-material spaces. \nSheher\, Prakriti\, Devi comes from the Hindustani terms for ‘city’\, ‘nature’ and ‘deity’. The exhibition germinates from curator Gauri Gill’s own ongoing documentation of urban and semi-urban spaces in India; viewers are invited to regard ecology as an overlap of cultural\, natural and spiritual domains – a world where built and natural structures are rendered porous by termites\, gates open to unfinished roads\, historical ruins become homes to migratory birds while pigeons become occupants of post-colonial houses\, locusts bear witness to contemporary terrors and forests manifest as spirit sisters. \nIn this show are works by Chamba Rumal\, Chiara Camoni\, Gauri Gill\, Ladhki Devi\, Mariam Suhail\, Meera Mukherjee\, Mrinalini Mukherjee\, Rashmi Kaleka\, Shefalee Jain\, Sukanya Ghosh\, Vinnie Gill and Yoshiko Crow. \nTo 1 June. \nAbove: Chamba Rumal\, Tara.

SUMMARY:Ludovico Einaudi
DESCRIPTION:After sold-out performances at Dubai Opera in 2018\, 2019\, and 2023\, the Italian composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi – one of the best-selling classical artists of all time – is back in Dubai for a three-night stint. \nBorn in Turin\, he trained at the Milan Conservatorio\, studied under Luciano Berio\, and worked as an assistant to Karlheinz Stockhausen for a while. He started out composing fairly traditional chamber and orchestral music before turning his hand to film music\, writing scores for films\, including This is England and I’m Still Here; but he hit stardom with his solo albums\, many of the pieces from them have become famous as stand-alone songs – like Nuvole Bianche\, currently clocking well over 14 million streams. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHe performs again on 20 and 21 January. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Essia Jaïbi: Metamorphoses #2
DESCRIPTION:In this performance piece\, Essia Jaïbi revisits the memories seared into her mind since childhood – she locks her mother\, Jalila Baccar\, in the glass-walled dressing room of an imagined theatre and pressures her to address the audience. Devised as a confrontation between two generations\, the performance tackles art\, theatre and cultural activism that evolve into a critique of Tunisia’s political\, cultural\, economic\, environmental and healthcare systems as well as the rights of minorities and people with disabilities. \nOriginally scheduled for last October but postponed in solidarity with the situation in Gaza\, there are now performances (in Arabic with English and French subtitles) on 19\, 20\, and 22 January – all start at 8.30pm and last around 40 minutes. This is part of the second season of Perform Sharjah\, Sharjah Art Foundation’s performance programme that invites you “to encounter new experiences while exploring the heritage houses and art spaces of the city”. Perform Sharjah\, which runs from October to February\, is curated by Sharjah Art Foundation’s Director of Performance and Senior Curator Tarek Abou El Fetouh. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Traversing Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:The Jameel is running a third season of Night School\, a seminar programme where UAE residents can discuss urbanism and history in Dubai. Under this season’s theme\, There You Are\, participants will assess how much we can know about a place just by taking a good look around. The seminar itself is fully booked\, but there are three public events in Art Jameel’s lobby; this is one of them. \nHind Mezaina curates five short films that respond to the Night School theme of sensing our whereabouts: \nEl Chinero\, A Phantom Hill dir Bani Khoshnoudi (2022\, 11 min) El Chinero is a rugged hill in the Baja California desert where many people are thought to have died while crossing the desert from mainland Mexico. Myth and identity\, reality and fiction\, ghosts and memory: a site of tragedy with no traces nor remnants to be seen. How can one fill this memory void with images and artefacts in an attempt to construct an archive where none exists? \nTransitions dir Aurèle Ferrier (2017\, 13 min) A journey from the civilising void of the desert to a maximal urban\, capitalistic and hedonistic density\, which in the case of Las Vegas assumes some bizarre expression. \nThe Unofficial Countryside dir Jacob Cartwright & Nick Jordan (2021\, 17 min) An observational documentary on the ‘edgeland’ landscapes between the urban and the rural\, where nature thrives on the fringes of the city in a landscape shaped by the activities and imprints of people passing through. \nBlue Honda Civic dir Jussi Eerola (2020\, 10 min) A minimalistic road movie mirroring the emotions of the driver through the landscapes (s)he has chosen to look at. \nShadegan dir Ako Salemi (2019\, 15 min) Twelve-year-old Milad guides his boat across the Shadegan wetlands in southwestern Iran. The beautiful photography shows an apparently relaxed life\, far away from the tyranny of mobile phones. Yet here\, too\, the threat of drought and pollution looms. \nAbove: Still from Shadegan\, Ako Salemi\, 2019 \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Essia Jaïbi: Metamorphoses #2
DESCRIPTION:A second performance of Essia Jaïbi’s exploration of the memories seared into her mind since childhood – she locks her mother\, Jalila Baccar\, in the glass-walled dressing room of an imagined theatre and pressures her to address the audience. Devised as a confrontation between two generations\, the performance tackles art\, theatre and cultural activism that evolve into a critique of Tunisia’s political\, cultural\, economic\, environmental and healthcare systems as well as the rights of minorities and people with disabilities.\n \nOriginally scheduled for last October but postponed in solidarity with the situation in Gaza\, there is a final performance on 22 October. This is part of the second season of Perform Sharjah\, Sharjah Art Foundation’s performance programme. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Comedy at Melrose
DESCRIPTION:Dubomedy’s regular Sunday evening stand-up gig has quickly become established\, not least because it’s free (you do have to pre-register to get on the list) and always entertaining – you never know who you’re going to see\, and while the quality is inevitably a bit variable you’re more or less guaranteed to laugh.

SUMMARY:Hazem Harb: Gauze
DESCRIPTION:A solo show by the Palestinian visual artist\, curated by Munira Al Sayegh\, which “invites viewers to explore the profound connections between material\, the body\, the context and the artist’s personal journey as a Gazan native in exile”. \nGauze offers insight into the multifaceted significance of the titular material within Palestinian collective histories; Harb’s connection with it dates back to his childhood in Gaza\, when he used gauze as an artistic medium akin to canvas. Decades later\, Harb revisits gauze as a medium in this new body of work that reflects on his early works with gauze\, exploring the transformative power of reflection and imagination in charting an emancipatory future. \nTo 15 February. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Revoir Paris: dir Alice Wincoer (2022)
DESCRIPTION:Wincoer’s gently searing drama is loosely based on the Bataclan concert hall attack in Paris in 2015 (her brother was a survivor). Virginie Efira is excellent as Mia\, a woman struggling with the trauma of having survived a brutal assault on a restaurant in the centre of town that left behind dozens of victims; as the title implies\, the film is about memory – remembering Paris as it was\, remembering life as it was. The acting is good\, the photography a paeon to the city. Recommended. \nIn French with English subtitles. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Fridge Concert Series 42: Bull Funk Zoo | DJ Frezidante
DESCRIPTION:This should be a good night: Bull Funk Zoo is usually excellent\, mixing hard rock with funk and some indie strains of occasional psychedelia. But frankly it is mostly hard rock: “imagine a big bad bull rocking out\, fornicating & wildly stompin’ the blues to rubble. Hendrix havin’ a drink with Tom Waits & RATM decided to tear it up\,” vouchsafes his YouTube channel’s explainer. Opening for him is DJ Frezidante\, a pioneering figure for the Middle East B-boy community. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Rouge (Red Soil): dir Farid Bentoumi (2020)
DESCRIPTION:An occupational nurse in a chemical plant turns whistleblower over toxic discharges but has to balance fighting for the truth against the risk of alienating her entire family. The result could be a goodies vs baddies thriller or a dogmatic dissertation; in fact it’s neither — yes\, there are thriller elements\, but the personal issues make it a rich study. That’s helped in no small part by the quality of the acting (Zita Hanrot as the nurse\, Sami Bouajila as her father\, Céline Sallette as a committed journalist with a dark side). Also relevant: it’s based on a real incident (in Hungary\, but the same process is widely used around the world with the same dangers). As the review says\, it’s a “tense and timely thriller”. \nThe film screens in the recently inaugurated NAAS film programme under the theme ‘Green Reel: Films for a Sustainable Future NAAS is a collaboration between several cultural institutions in the UAE\, including the Goethe-Institut\, the French and Canadian embassies\, and the Italian Cultural Institute of Abu Dhabi\, in partnership with Manarat Al Sadiyyat. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Le Petit Prince
DESCRIPTION:A spectacular dance/circus interpretation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s fable of an aviator who lands in the middle of the desert and meets the Little Prince\, who’s travelling from one planet to another looking for his sheep. We’re told that this production “weaves together narrative\, emotion\, and movement\, exploring profound themes of love\, friendship\, and the essence of the human experience”\, and if it’s essentially the same one that wowed Dubai in 2020 we can recommend it enthusiastically … \nThere are further performances at 8pm on 26 January\, 3pm and 8pm on 27 January\, and 3pm and 7pm on 28 January. \n  \n
