The fourth edition of Sharjah Art Foundation’s Perform Sharjah programme of performances opens with Muhanad Kareem\u2019s adaptation of the 2009 novel by Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk.<\/p>\n
In a remote village, surrounded by a dense forest full of wild animals, a series of mysterious murders begins to claim the lives of hunters. As the killings escalate, the quiet tension builds into a confrontation between humanity and nature …<\/p>\n
Performing on a minimal yet striking set, the actors draw the audience into a world suspended between illusion and reality. Through its narrative, the play deliberates on the pervasive violence that shapes our world, and its impact on both current and future generations.<\/p>\n
The performance is in Arabic and will be preceded by an opening reception.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"drive-your-plow-over-the-bones-of-the-dead","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2025-10-11 20:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"10","day":"11","hour":"20","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2025-10-11 21:30:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"10","day":"11","hour":"21","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2025-10-11 16:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"10","day":"11","hour":"16","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2025-10-11 17:30:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"10","day":"11","hour":"17","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"Asia\/Dubai","timezone_abbr":"+04","cost":"Free","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"AED ","currency_code":"AED","currency_position":"prefix","values":["free"]},"website":"tinyurl.com\/y7cmbca3","show_map":false,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Theatre","slug":"theatre","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":55,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":237,"filter":"raw","id":55,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/magpie.ae\/staging4\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/55","collection":"https:\/\/magpie.ae\/staging4\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":18241,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2018-08-31 20:02:25","date_utc":"2018-08-31 16:02:25","modified":"2023-11-21 17:27:14","modified_utc":"2023-11-21 13:27:14","url":"https:\/\/magpie.ae\/staging4\/venue\/africa-hall\/","venue":"Africa Hall","description":"
