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 performances at 3pm and 6.30pm.

SUMMARY:Nataly Aukar
DESCRIPTION:Lebanese-born and raised\, NYC based\, combining sharp city wit with anecdotes of a strict upbringing amid a civil war\, described by her mum as “really pretty when she makes an effort” and by her friends as “great when you get to know her”\, Nataly Aukur has gigged regularly in New York comedy clubs and has opened for several big(ger)-name standups. She’s done a few shows in Dubai (“I think I definitely startled the crowd in Dubai a little bit”) but we think this is her first tour as the headliner. She definitely deserves the spotlight\, even at these prices …

SUMMARY:The 7 Sins
DESCRIPTION:Last chance to see this series of Dubai-set playlets. They are written by three Dubai-based playwrights (Dee Gee\, Edwige Narbey\, Alex Broun) and directed by Dee Gee; cast and crew are drawn from 11 different nationalities – which is about as Dubai as you could get. The sins aren’t explicitly deadly\, but we are getting a modern take on them – with the emphasis on social media. The underlying idea is that vices like these can evolve with time; “as an audience\, we will experience the sins in today’s world and how our daily lives invite us to sin\, perhaps not always in our control …”. \n
