SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Randa Maddah: Hanging Gardens
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural solo exhibition of the Syrian visual artist whose practice spans painting\, drawing\, sculpture\, video\, and installation. In this recent work\, Maddah repurposes the vocabulary of traditional miniature paintings to depict “dream-like scenes that negotiate themes of belonging\, resilience\, rootedness\, rebirth\, and renewal through natural elements … The work embodies the notion of a spirit shaped by harsh and absurd realities\, exploring themes of ecstasy\, liberation\, and reincarnation … Reflecting on transcendence and rebirth\, Maddah suggests that the body is merely a garment the soul sheds to wear anew\, offering hope that death is simply a gateway to a new life”.

SUMMARY:Candlelight: Festival of Lights at Yas Bay Waterfront
DESCRIPTION:Diwali would seem an entirely logical extension for the Candlelight series of candle-illuminated musical events. So we’re happy to flag up two free concerts for the Festival of Lights\, with the plaza in front of Etihad Arena transformed into an atmospheric concert venue featuring thousands of candles illuminating the steps of the arena. Attendees will get Sarangi performances by Nabeel Khan’s Bollywood Ensemble and show-stopping dance routines from celebrity choreographer Sarah Pinto\, with classical renditions of iconic Bollywood songs\, including Tum Hi Ho by Arijit Singh\, Lag Ja Gale by Lata Mangeshkar\, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s soulful O Re Piya\, to name a few. \nThere are two performances (at 6.30 and 8.30pm) and spaces are limited – reserve tickets here.

SUMMARY:Pina: dir Wim Wenders (2011)
DESCRIPTION:A captivating dance documentary that celebrates the life and work of the world-renowned choreographer Pina Bausch. During the preparations for the film in 2009\, Bausch died suddenly; the dancers of Bausch’s company\, Tanztheater Wuppertal\, convinced him to proceed as a way of memorializing Bausch and her choreography. The film has four major stage performances actually rehearsed by Bausch\, interspersed with solo and duet dances from many of Bausch’s other works; many of the dancers relate their stories of working with Pina. As a result\, Pina is a tribute to an extraordinary artist who redefined the boundaries of modern dance. The screening\, in the MOVE ON FILM season\, is followed by a talk and Q&A with Jean Laurent Sasportes (a principal dancer with the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch from 1979 to 1997 who has continued to be involved with the Pina Bausch repertoire).

SUMMARY:Max Richter: The Four Seasons Recomposed
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to the classical repertoire\, you don’t get much more mainstream than Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. It seems dangerous\, even perhaps sacrilegious\, to tinker with this much loved\, immensely popular music. But because it has been played so often and by so many virtuosi\, maybe there’s now nothing new to say with the piece. So Max Richter\, the contemporary classical composer of music for stage\, opera\, ballet\, screen and concert hall\, decided to rework it from the ground up. \nHis innovative take on Vivaldi’s classic\, first heard in 2012\, retains the emotional depth of the original while introducing a contemporary soundscape – Richter has said that he had discarded 75 percent of Vivaldi’s original material\, but the parts he does use are phased and looped to provide a dynamic\, modern twist. The result is a true orchestral work\, albeit with some respectably subtle electronic treatments here and there. Reviews of performances and recordings have ranged from the incurably bewildered and damning to grudging respect and outright enthusiasm\, so it will be at the least interesting to see how Vivaldi can be introduced to the 21st century … \nIt’s performed at Dubai Opera by the Kyiv Virtuosi chamber orchestra\, led by conductor Dmitry Yablonsky\, with the much-feted Ukrainian violinist Anastasiya Petryshak.

SUMMARY:The Woman in Black
DESCRIPTION:Susan Hill’s elegantly eerie ghost story has been seen by more than seven million people in the stage adaptation by Stephen Mallatratt\, and very few will have been disappointed (or unshaken). A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family engages a sceptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It all begins innocently enough\, but as they reach further into his darkest memories\, the borders between make-believe and reality begin to blur as the Woman in Black reveals her terrible purpose … \nThere are further performances on 2 November at 2pm and 8pm.
