SUMMARY:Slava’s Snowshow
DESCRIPTION:It might be a bit early for Christmas\, but this really is one of the best seasonal shows around – a whimsical blur of laughter\, awe\, and magic that has already been seen by more than 12 million theatregoers in80 countries around the world\, including a near sellout run at Dubai Opera last year. So far it has clocked up more than 25 international awards (among them a West End Laurence Olivier award for Best Entertainment\, a Drama Desk Award in New York\, and a Broadway Tony nomination). \nIt’s also wowed the critics: “the most fun in the theatre you will ever experience” (The Guardian) and “a thing of rare theatrical beauty not to be missed” (Daily Telegraph). The New York Times came up with “simply thrilling … unmissable … induces waves of giggles and sighs of pleasure”. And the Financial Times gave us “Slava’s Snowshow achieved something I’ve rarely seen: a spontaneous eruption of playful energy which lifted the entire audience in a bubble of pure delight. Magic!” All of which is spot on. \nEssentially it’s a group of clowns wearing green and one wearing yellow\, in “a celebration of winter and snow”. But Slava Polunin\, the show’s creator\, has created something special from the fabric of dreams and fairy tales in a kaleidoscope of events\, colours\, sounds\, “spaces” and “times”; combining breathtaking visuals\, immersive stagecraft\, and the famous snowstorm finale\, it usually deloivers an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. As Variety put it\, “Slava’s Snowshow is to clowning what Cirque du Soleil is to the circus … Slava’s Snowshow is as theatrical as it is simple\, as involving as it is inspiring”. \nIt runs from 14 to 26 October with a break in the middle. Most shows start at 7pm\, but there are weekend matinées; weekends carry a price premium\, incidentally. The schedule: \nTue 14 Oct 7.30pm from AED 200\nWed 15 Oct 7.30pm from AED 200\nThu 16 Oct 7.30pm from AED 200\nFri 17 Oct 8.00pm from AED 250\nSat 18 Oct 4pm and 8pm from AED 250\nSun 19 Oct 4pm and 8pm from AED 250 \nWed 22 Oct 7.30pm from AED 200\nThu 23 Oct 7.30pm from AED 200\nFri 24 Oct 4pm and 8.00pm from AED 250\nSat 25 Oct 4pm and 8pm from AED 250\nSun 26 Oct 2pm and 6pm from AED 250 \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Happy Holidays: dir Scandar Copti (2024)
DESCRIPTION:Studying away from home has given Fifi (Manar Shehab) a new sense of autonomy\, but waking up in a hospital room after minor car accident in Jerusalem and surrounded by her family she will have to decide how much of her new self she’s willing to reveal. \nMeanwhile\, back in Haifa\, Fifi’s brother\, Rami (Toufic Daniel)\, has secrets of his own; his girlfriend’s change of heart has shaken his confidence in the future\, leaving him in a tense battle between ego and paranoia. Not knowing where to turn\, Rami fixates on the little control he has\, desperately searching for a way to steer an outcome that may ultimately be beyond his control. \nThis panoramic family drama has no perfect characters\, yet everyone’s opinion matters. Structured like glimpses into private moments\, the story unfolds through a destructive blend of personal quests\, poor choices\, and the quiet weight of social expectations. Bit by bit\, the fractured foundation of one lie gives way to another until all that’s left is the truth … \nThe film\, which screens in the CinemaNA  series of contemporary Arab cinema\, premiered at last year’s Venice International Film Festival\, where it won the Orizzonti Award for Best Screenplay. The film also received the Étoile d’Or at the Marrakech International Film Festival and the Golden Alexander at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival\, among its other awards. \nThe screening is following by a conversation with the director\, Scandar Copti\, about the creative process and the cultural realities that shape his work.  “Sharing Happy Holidays through CinemaNA at The Arts Center at NYUAD feels like bringing the film home\,” says Copti. “For the past eight years\, I’ve been curating this Arab film series\, and teaching film here at NYU Abu Dhabi for more than 12 years\, so this space is part of my own cinematic journey.” \nThe film is in Arabic and Hebrew with English subtitles.
