SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Sarah Alagroobi: Slanted Dreamscape
DESCRIPTION:Alagroobi’s evocative\, highly textured landscapes provide a glimpse into “a world where reality and imagination intersect”. Her practice celebrates the physical and metaphysical\, using layers of acrylic to sculpt imagined landscapes that blur the boundaries between the tangible and the abstract; the gallery says her paintings “offer a direct and unfiltered representation of her artistic process\, presenting depth and surface in their most authentic forms”.

SUMMARY:The Ice Hole – A Cardboard Comedy
DESCRIPTION:This production debuted for four performances in May and two in July; all sold out (deservedly). It’s now back for a run at Theatre by QE2\, and it’s highly recommended. \nIt’s an English version of an award-winning French comedy from 2021\, Les Gros Patinent Bien\, by Pierre Guillois and Olivier Martin-Salvan. They reworked the original for an Anglophone audience at the Edinburgh Festival as The Ice Hole\, and there were rave reviews for a show that has an imposing Shakespearian actor telling incredible stories of a man journeying through Europe under the curse of a mermaid he’d absent-mindedly caught in a fjord. The actor is accompanied by a put-upon flunky (maybe a stage manager?) who strives with the help of hastily-scribbled cardboard signs and boxes to help us understand the meaning of this journey … \nIt’s fun\, mad as trumpets\, with echoes of Monty Python\, Laurel and Hardy\, and the Mighty Boosh. Matthew T Corbett directs Sadiq Saboowala and Patrick Albrecht\, two-time winners of the local Short+Sweet Dubai Theatre Festival\, for Complices Théâtre. \n

SUMMARY:Xue Bao | Snow Leopard (dir Pema Tseden\, China\, 2023)
DESCRIPTION:This is a story about how people and animals can finally get along. A snow leopard\, rare and globally endangered\, breaks into the pen of a herder family and kills nine goats. The father and son argue about what to do: the son wants to kill the snow leopard\, the father insists on releasing it since the animal represents the spirit of the mountains. It’s a scenario that summarises the clash between traditional values and contemporary developments in a modernising Tibet; Tseden\, who died before the film could be released\, devoted his career to illustrating the complexities of modern life in his native land\, and his final completed feature is no exception. \nScreens with Shift (dir Sherine Raffoul and Moussa Shabandar\, Lebanon\, 2024: 18 min)\, a documentary short about Chadi Saad; once an enthusiast bird hunter\, he has made a 360° turn and condemns hunting as criminal. \nThis programme is part of the Al Sidr Environmental Film Festival\, a collaboration between NYUAD and Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi

SUMMARY:Agraharathil Kazhuthai | Donkey in a Brahmin Village (dir John Abraham\, 1977)
DESCRIPTION:A college professor faces ridicule when he adopts a newborn donkey after its mother is killed. He leaves Madras and takes the foal to his home village\, against the norms of his community. Bad things start to happen\, and the villagers blame the donkey; they kill it\, and magically miracles beginning happening in the village. The villagers erect a shrine to the donkey\, but they get their comeuppance … Abraham’s Tamil-language satire on social norms among high-caste Brahmins was originally shunned but has since attained cult status. \nScreens with two shorts by Kim Elias Majdalani\, No Man’s Land (6 min) about a dead zone on the disputed southern borders of Lebanon\, where wildlife thrives in the absence of human settlement; and Revenge of Nature (12 min)\, how nature reclaims its territory through ecological succession after an area has been abandoned by humans. \nThis programme is the final event of the Al Sidr Environmental Film Festival\, a collaboration between NYUAD and Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi.

SUMMARY:Mute
DESCRIPTION:This experimental theatre piece by the Kuwaiti director and playwright Sulayman Al Bassam examines that brief moment of silence that followed the Beirut port explosion of 2020. Produced with actress Hala Omran and the band Two or The Dragon\, the performance blends music and singing with prose and audiovisual elements. A wide departure from the norms of Arab theatre\, the play’s structure is likened by Abou El Fetouh to that of a poem. \nMute has won awards at the Carthage Theatre Festival and the Cairo International Experimental Theatre Festival. Part of Sharjah Art Foundation’s Perform Sharjah programme\, Mute is co-presented by the Sharjah Performing Arts Academy.
