But it’s not all about dance at this cultural


hub. CinemaNA - Contemporary Arab Cinema


Series, has already brought so many moving
and interesting Àlms to the capital.

The next screening in the Àlm festival also
takes place on April 29,

when heart-warming
drama Yomeddine is

brought to the


big screen.
Written and directed

by Abu Bakr Shawky,
the showing takes

place at Paris-Sorbonne
University Abu Dhabi

and the event is a


collaboration between
the two institutes.

The drama tells the
tale of a Christian, a

leprosy sufferer, and his road trip
across Egypt to Ànd his birth family

who abandoned him as a child.
He Ànds himself teaming up with

a ten-year-old Muslim boy and a


donkey along the way, and a series
of bizarre events soon follow.

Tickets for both Vitae and
Yomeddine are free of charge, but

you need to reserve a spot. Meanwhile, tickets
for Danser Casa are Dhs105 for adults, and

Dhs52.50 for young people aged 13 to 22.
So whether you’re into Àlm, dance or just

fancy a cultural evening out, we suggest you


make some room in your diary.
