SUMMARY:Blane De St Croix: Horizon
DESCRIPTION:The Art Gallery at NYUAD opens its new season with works from a sculptor who works on the relationship between people and landscape and in particular the landscape of climate change. His practice is based on extensive field research; over a series of residencies at NYUAD over the last year\, he has developed two major new bodies of work that are rooted in his study of the UAE’s specific landscapes and region – including a collaboration with Joanna Settle from the university’s the theatre department. \nWe’re expecting something special from this show. His last major exhibition\, at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art a couple of years ago\, was titled How to move a landscape; it represented a multilayered reflection on climate change and the creeping environmental catastrophe\, how manmade physical changes to the landscape sit on aeons of geological time\, how the changes will win out whatever we do. It was a show with political comment and wit alongside the doomy inevitability; as one review put it\, “the thing about moving a landscape is you can’t”. \nThe Horizon exhibition includes the two new bodies of work along with a number of other never-before-shown works. \nTo 21 January. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Matilda The Musical
DESCRIPTION:The multi-award-winning musical (it has won more than 99 international awards) inspired by the Roald Dahl book touches down in Dubai for what has to be one of the highlights of the season. As the New York Post put it\, “Once in a blue moon\, a show comes out blazing and restores your faith in broadway. Matilda the Musical is that show”. \nThe script by Tony Award-winning playwright Dennis Kelly is excellent\, sticking close enough to the original but making the most of the live-action theatricality of the stage; Tim Minchin’s original songs are terrific\, mixing wit with sing-along choruses. And it’s a Royal Shakespeare Company production\, which is itself an assurance of quality and professionalism. The premium ticket price should be worth it … \nMatilda The Musical is directed by Matthew Warchus. Sets and costumes are by Rob Howell\, with choreography by Peter Darling. All three are also Tony winners\, along with the lighting director Hugh Vanstone. Matilda the Musical plays daily at 8pm between 3 and 7 October\, with a 7.30pm show on 8 October; there are also 2pm matinées on 7 and 8 October\, though we understand these are now sold out (as ever\, there may be returns). The cast take a break on 9 October and performances resume on 10 to 15 October.

SUMMARY:Trevor Noah: Off the Record
DESCRIPTION:Trevor Noah’s The Daily Show landed a record seven Emmy nominations this year; but he’s rather wasted in that talk-show-host role\, IMO\, for he’s a consummate standup performer – especially for large auditoriums – with sold out shows on five continents. Noted for his sharp wit and intelligent commentary on people\, politics\, racism and nationalism\, and occasionally himself\, he’s also good at the downright silly stuff too; the Guardian summarised his last UK show with “ Noah is a master of classic standup and has mass appeal in the best possible way”. He’s in the middle of a 28-city US tour for this show\, a year-long schedule he started back in January just after his final appearance as host on The Daily Show. This gig should attract 12\,000 paying customers\, and that will make it the UAE’s largest ever comedy night … Recommended.

SUMMARY:Fridge Concert Series 41: Ghaliaa / Mira Habash
DESCRIPTION:Multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Ghaliaa should be able to make the most of the revamped Fridge venue with its redesigned stage and new state of the art sound system. Ghaliaa’s sound fuses RnB\, hiphop\, electropop\, indie and jazz\, all characterised by what The Frdige calls “a raspy voice and versatile highs” – she’s better than that\, in fact. Opening for Ghaliaa is Mira Habash whose mix of acapella\, pop and jazz styles have delivered three Levantine Arabic singles with more than five million streams.
