SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Native: Plants in the UAE
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition that showcases the UAE’s native flora\, exploring the life conditions of plants indigenous to the country’s landscape and examining how the surrounding atmosphere both affects their growth and results in unique variations of colour\, texture\, size and behaviour. Each specimen holds a story of adaptation and survival\, told through a curated collection of art installations and informative exhibits that shed light on the ecological significance of these plants and trees. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Hussein Sharif: Re-framing Reality
DESCRIPTION:The Culture Foundation’s big summer show is a major survey of four decades of work showcasing the multidisciplinary practice across painting\, drawing\, collage and sculpture of an artist acknoweldged as one of the UAE’s key postmodernists (he was one of the Five founders of contemporary art in the Emirates\, including his brother Hassan\, Abdullah Al Saadi\, Mohammed Kazem and Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim). \nHussein Sharif worked with various mediums to respond to his surrounding environment and current realties and used recycled materials extensively as a way of processing the seismic changes of UAE society. This new show\, curated by Aysha Al Hemeiri and Zuhoor Al Sayegh\, features installations that encourage the audience to interact with the work.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Native: Plants in the UAE
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition that explores the plants indigenous to the UAE\, looking at the surrounding atmosphere that affects its growth and gives it its unique variations of colour\, texture\, size and behaviour. “From the iconic Ghaf tree to the resilient desert grasses\, each specimen holds a story of adaptation and survival told through a curated collection of art installations and informative exhibits that shed light on the ecological significance of these plants and trees.” Curated by Sumayya Al Suwaidi with Aysha Al Aseeri and Huda Marzooq.

SUMMARY:Cirque Dreams: Elysion
DESCRIPTION:“A breathtaking journey through a land of pure imagination and wonder … an extraordinary adventure into a world of fantasy and awe” promises the blurb\, adding “the audience is transported to an ethereal garden atmosphere\, alive with animated creatures that embody the tranquillity and chaos of nature”. \nIf you think the description of the show – a “vivid\, three-dimensional world is filled with astonishing acrobatics\, captivating choreography\, and beautiful costumes” – sounds like Cirque du Soleil\, you’d be right; although started independently\, Cirque Dreams was acquired by Cirque du Soleil’s owners in 2018 and runs as a kind of junior operation. Its shows are still spectacular demonstrations of modern circus arts and high-tech staging (especially lighting)\, but they tend to be smaller and perhaps less pretentious than the parent company’s productions. \nThe current show apparently draws inspiration from the concept of Elysium\, “a place of perfect happiness and eternal peace” – in Greek mythology it was the paradise where heroes went if the gods had conferred immortality of them. In the Cirque Dreams interpretation with the adapted name it’s rather different\, a garden setting “where every creature\, from the tiniest insect to the grandest display\, contributes to the tapestry of life … The fusion of an immersive production design\, other-worldly costume designs\, and the unparalleled skill of our performers brings this blissful garden to life”. \nThe lustre have gone from the ‘new circus’ idea\, and it’s unlikely that Elysion will “redefine the boundaries of circus artistry and theatricality” as the press release suggests; but it should still make for a decent evening’s entertainment – especially with tickets starting at a modest AED 75. \nThere are two shows a day at 3pm and 6.30pm in a purpose built tent in Al Ain Square\, right by Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium. The upcoming dates: \n6 September 3pm and 6.30pm\n7 September 3pm and 6.30pm\n8 September 3pm and 6.30pm
