A shopping mall is asking visitors – as well as Romans and fellow countrymen – to lend them their ears for a cultural performance this weekend.
Festival City is showcasing a series of 15-minute Arabic-language skits, based on plays by William Shakespeare.
“These short performances will provide mall-goers with a great spectacle,” said Brad Merchant, general manager, Dubai Festival City Mall.
The programme is one of the first projects by the Dubai Festival for Youth Theatre.
It will be held onFriday and Saturday to mark the first week of Eid Al Adha.

We Weren’t Supposed to Survive But We Did
We weren’t supposed to survive but we did.
We weren’t supposed to remember but we did.
We weren’t supposed to write but we did.
We weren’t supposed to fight but we did.
We weren’t supposed to organise but we did.
We weren’t supposed to rap but we did.
We weren’t supposed to find allies but we did.
We weren’t supposed to grow communities but we did.
We weren’t supposed to return but WE ARE.
