SUMMARY:Circa: Duck Pond
DESCRIPTION:The final Abu Dhabi performance for this exuberant take on Swan Lake (with a hint of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling) that mixes the enchantment of the ballet with the thrill of the circus. Australia’s Circa Contemporary Circus is one of the globe’s leading performance companies\, pioneering how extreme physicality can create powerful and moving performances and drawing rave reviews and standing ovations across six continents since its foundation in 2006; Duck Pond is one of the company’s most ambitious works yet\, full of Circa’s signature physicality and shot through with cheeky humour\, colourful surrealism\, and a thoroughly contemporary energy. You’ll see a clumsy film crew\, a sequinned flipper-wearing army of ducks\, and a burlesque black swan in this tale of identity and finding your true self; there are sumptuous aerials\, enchanting duets\, jaw-dropping acrobatics\, and many\, many feathers … \n

SUMMARY:Dubai Bibliophiles Book Club – Toni Morrison's Beloved
DESCRIPTION:The book group discusses what is arguably Morrison’s finest literary work\, a multi-layered attempt to give voice to the collective memory of African Americans that also explores notions of family\, trauma\, the repression of memory\, and of course the restoration of the historical record. Published in 1987\, it won a Pullitzer Prize and New York Times poll of critics ranked it as the best work of American fiction between 1981 and 2006. Well worth reading\, and a rich source for discussion.

DESCRIPTION:The distinctive stand-up style of America’s first Muslim female comedian (probably) and (definitely) the funniest.
