SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Tangerine Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Ayyam Gallery’s summer collective exhibition focuses on the colour orange: “occupying a unique space between intensity and comfort\, orange embodies both vitality and reflection. Associated with sunlight\, fire\, ripened fruit\, and shifting horizons\, the colour carries a rich spectrum of meanings that traverse cultures\, histories\, and emotional states …” For this show\, orange becomes a vehicle through which artists explore memory\, landscape\, identity\, and transformation: “the colour appears in varied forms\, guiding viewers through moments of energy and stillness while revealing its ability to shape perception and mood”. \nThe artists: \nTammam Azzam\nMouteea Murad’\nElias Izoli\nThaier Helal\nKhaled Akil\nAbdalla Al Omari \nSama Alshaibi\nFaisal Samra\nKais Salman\nKhaled Takreti\nAsaad Arabi\nOussama Diab\nLeila Nseir

SUMMARY:MONOCHROMA 2
DESCRIPTION:You don’t see enough ceramic art outside the interiors business\, and then it just tends to be bowls; so this show by Double J Collective (“the first project based in Dubai exclusively dedicated to exhibit\, promote and sell fine craft and design creations”) in partnership with DCT Abu Dhabi is well worth encouraging. Few details\, but we’re promised that “diverse ceramic practices come together in a dialogue shaped by material\, perspective and artistic expression”. To 18 October.

SUMMARY:Spider's Web
DESCRIPTION:Agatha Christie’s second most successful play (The Mousetrap is probably uncatchable) is a country-house thriller-comedy with clues aplenty and a good helping of plot contrivances – including a most convenient hidden door in the study that of course leads to a secret passage – and a disappearing corpse. Sarah Potter directs for the Junction’s resident company H72 Productions. Should be good fun. \nThere are further performances tomorrow (19 September) and Sunday (20 September).

SUMMARY:Quiz Me Baby One More Time
DESCRIPTION:“The music quiz that refuses to take itself seriously.” The Courtyard promises “a night of big tunes\, tricky questions and questionable musical knowledge … Grab your team\, pick a name and get ready to battle it out for the top spot”. There’s also a Best Dressed Team Prize. As with all Courtyard evenings it’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website). Sure to be a load of laughs.

SUMMARY:The Marriage of Figaro Ballet
DESCRIPTION:The Ukrainian National Ballet brings its version of The Marriage of Figaro to Dubai as a two-act comic ballet with a libretto by Yaremenko and Yuri Stanishevsky\, choreography and staging by Viktor Yaremenko\, and musical adaptation and additional composition by Oleksiy Baklan. \nIt’s based on Mozart’s opera\, but is a fully danced work with no singing; one review says it emphasises “hijinks rather than heartache\,” so we’re expecting something lighter and more overtly playful than the original. But the story is broadly retained\, the major dances and duets deploy the classical ballet vocabulary\, and the production uses lavish eighteenth-century costumes and palace settings; the music generally avoids the opera’s familiar arias and ensembles in favour of some of Mozart’s less-famous instrumental music\, supplemented by Baklan’s own composition. \nThere are further performances at 2pm and 8pm on 20 September.
