SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Vian Sora: House of Pearls
DESCRIPTION:The Third Line’s first solo exhibition with Louisville-based artist Vian Sora features new paintings and works on paper that explore pearls as “a metaphor for achieving stability and the needed structural integrity for life itself to regenerate”. Sora draws on her experiences as a war survivor and immigrant (she escaped Iraqi following the US invasion of Iraq) to reflect on the uncertainty of existence and the complex nature of identity; she works with meticulous layering of colours and texture to depict imagined landscapes and ocean scenes marked with distorted Arabic calligraphy and vivid colours.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Vian Sora: House of Pearls
DESCRIPTION:New paintings and works on paper from the Louisville-based artist that explore pearls as “a metaphor for achieving stability and the needed structural integrity for life itself to regenerate”. Drawing on her experiences as a war survivor and immigrant (Iraqi-born\, she sought refuge in Dubai following the US invasion of Iraq) Sora reflects on the uncertainty and shifting boundaries of existence\, capturing the physical\, mental\, and emotional toll experienced across nations\, cultures\, and time. “Her paintings reveal the complex nature of identity and seek cohesion like the iridescent layers of a natural pearl” says the gallery.

SUMMARY:Day 1 |  Forest Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Dharamshala International Film Festival has a peripatetic and constantly changing programme called DIFF On the Road\, part of the festival’s mandate to build networks of cinematic solidarity and to extend the space for discourse around independent cinema. In keeping with the current 421 exhibition Way of the Forest\, here it showcases two films that delve deeply into the myths\, legends\, and spirits of disappearing forests and their lingering impact on those forced to migrate to the concrete jungles of urban worlds. \nAn Invocation to the Earth dir Yeo Siew Hua\, Singapore (2020: 16 min) \nConceived during 2019\, when large-scale fires were consuming the forests of Indonesia\, the film confronts climate collapse through the lens of pre-colonial folktales and animistic rituals. \nThe Fever dir Maya Da-Rin\, Brazil (2019: 98 min) \nFeaturing dialogue in both Portuguese and indigenous languages\, this drama/thriller features a main cast of indigenous Brazilian from the Upper Rio Negro. Justino is a security guard at the harbour in Manaus; just as his daughter prepares to leave to study medicine in Brasília\, Justino succumbs to a mysterious fever. During the day\, he fights to stay awake at work; during the night\, a mysterious creature dogs his footsteps. A visit from his brother makes him remember the life he left deep in the jungle 20 years before. Between the oppression of the city and the distance of his native village\, Justino is no longer able to endure an existence without a sense of belonging.

SUMMARY:Singin’ in the Rain
DESCRIPTION:The highly successful stage adaptation of the iconic MGM film about silent film actors who face their share of struggles over the gradual transition to talkies. The plot isn’t what matters\, of course; it’s the songs – classics like Good Morning\, Make ’em Laugh\, Moses Supposes\, and of course Singin’ in the Rain – and the dancing (the choreography by Andrew Wright is just great). There will also be live rain showers on stage every night … The result is a celebration of Hollywood’s golden era with romance\, humour and wall-to-wall entertainment. \nThere are further shows to 14 December: \n\n\n6 Dec 8pm\n7 Dec 2pm\n7 Dec 7pm\n8 Dec 2pm\n8 Dec 7pm\n9 Dec no show\n10 Dec 8pm\n11 Dec 8pm\n12 Dec 8pm\n13 Dec 8pm\n14 Dec 2pm\n14 Dec 8pm
