SUMMARY:Ahmad Kasha: A Moment of Peace
DESCRIPTION:A solo show for the young Syrian painter. “Those who follow Kasha’s experience will notice his transition from expressive realism shortly after his graduation from the College of Fine Arts to expressionism\, which tends toward abstraction in a fluid experimentation that attempts to get rid of the customs and traditions that constitute the painting composed by the Syrian professional in general. Colours ignite and fade\, get dirty and wash away\, falling here and there unintentionally or intentionally\, left to say what they say. Behold the voice of this experience muttering in our eyes and lips of this young soul of animals of blood and fire …” \nTo 17 February. \nRight: Ahmad Kasha\, Untitled (2023) \n

SUMMARY:Berlin: Perhaps All the Dragon
DESCRIPTION:An interesting take on the ‘six degrees of separation’ theory – the idea that all people are no more than six social connections away from each other. In an intimate setting\, spectators are seated at a large oval table\, each facing a single screen. Seemingly ordinary people appear on their screens\, each narrating an unusual but true story in a filmed monologue – a philosophic proposition\, a scientific detail or an anecdote. The themes brought up in these stories are eclectic; together\, they balance on the edge of believability. \nThere are performances at 8.30pm on these dates: \n\n13 Jan (English)\n14 Jan (English)\n19 Jan (Arabic)\n20 Jan (English)\n21 Jan Jan (English)\n26 Jan (Arabic)\n27 Jan (English)\n28 Jan (English)\n2 Feb (Arabic)\n3 Feb (English)\n4 Feb (English)\n\nThis 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 2023 to February 2024\, is curated by Sharjah Art Foundation’s Director of Performance and Senior Curator Tarek Abou El Fetouh.

SUMMARY:Thirty Days in September
DESCRIPTION:Mahesh Dattani’s play\, a critical and commercial success for the noted Indian playwright\, was first performed in 2001 but retains a contemporary relevance. Two of Dubai better theatre groups\, Third Half Theatre and EnAct\, are collaborating on this potentially difficult play that deals with dark family secrets recalled through impermanent memories and what the producers term “the fantasies we propagate to render the truth palatable”. \nThis is tough stuff\, touching on multi-generational incest and the subjugation of women\, and it should stretch the actors: Rashmi Kotriwala\, who takes one of the key roles as well as producing\, says “this has been\, by far\, my most challenging role as it has pushed me to explore uncharted territory … There cannot be a neutral reaction to this story\, and it will definitely move each person in some way”. It’s a shame it’s only getting a single performance … \nSanjeev Dixit directs. \n  \n

SUMMARY:(No) Body is Translating
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. \nAbu Dhabi-based writer Deepak Unnikrishnan will present the opening chapter to his first literary/artistic project in seven years\, Pettee. The lecture will focus on the role of the moving body in Gulf spaces as a translating device and sound machine\, and why he is convinced we must pay attention to community elders with Gulf roots: to document how they move/sound\, not only write what they say/remember. The project will continue in the spring with a dance and sonic collaboration at The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi. \n

SUMMARY:Tao Ye: 4
DESCRIPTION:Tao Ye’s choreographic works explore the potential of the human body beyond the limitations of representation or dramaturgical narrative.  In this performance piece\, the choreography is abstract – four fluid bodies flow in powerfully controlled movements around a magnetic central point\, relentlessly performing a fixed pattern of movements as if seeking to achieve oneness. The central point keeps them together\, but they cannot breach the distance between them. Minimal shifts in movement are masterfully built in throughout the performance\, drawing the audience into a slowly growing trance. \nPostponed from its original 7 January date in solidarity with the situation in Gaza\, 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
