يدعوكم منتدى شرق وغرب الثقافي إلى أمسية أدبية نقترب فيها من لحظة إنسانية ، نلتقي مع رواية 📖 *الجنرال في متاهته** للكاتب *غابرييل غارسيا ماركيز* يرافقنا سيمون بوليفار في رحلته الأخيرة، ليس بوصفه بطلاً أسطورياً فحسب، بل إنسانًا يواجه ذاته، وذاكرته، وانكساراته. في هذه الجلسة، سنحاول أن نتأمل: • كيف تتحول السيرة إلى حكاية وجودية؟ • وما الذي يبقى من الحلم حين يبهت المجد؟ • وهل المتاهة مكان… أم حالة يعيشها الإنسان في لحظاته الأخيرة؟ 📍 المكان: مكتبةغاف في قاعة الأنشطة بمكتبة الصفا 📅 التاريخ: 10 / 5 / 2026 🕔 الوقت: الساعة السابعة مساءً ✉️ شاركونا قراءتكم، وتأملاتكم، وتساؤلاتكم، فنحن لا نقرأ لنصل إلى إجابة واحدة… بل لنفتح أبوابًا جديدة للفهم والدهشة. بانتظار حضوركم �

### Backgammon is not a game. It is a conversation between two minds. On **May 10 at 7:00 PM**, a private circle gathers in Dubai — entrepreneurs, business owners, investors and executives from the Business Chess & Backgammon international community. The evening centres around backgammon. A game where strategy meets intuition. Where character reveals itself under pressure. Where silence between moves speaks louder than words. Where the person sitting across from you becomes real — not a title, not a role. Backgammon is just the excuse. The real value is the people at the table. *** **Why Backgammon?** One of the oldest games in the world. Played by merchants, strategists and rulers for thousands of years. It teaches you to make decisions under uncertainty. To stay composed under pressure. To read the situation several moves ahead. The same qualities that define a strong entrepreneur. Your level of play does not matter. We play for pleasure — not for victory. *** **The Format** ♟ Backgammon and chess — no ratings, no pressure ♟ Intimate setting — a small, carefully selected group ♟ Dialogue between equals — no pitches, no roles ♟ Thoughtfully chosen venue with attention to atmosphere and detail No stage. No agenda. No random guests. *** **About the Community** Business Chess & Backgammon is an international community. 5 years · 8 countries · 19 cities · 3,000+ members In Dubai, we have gathered every Sunday for 4 years. A stable, deliberately curated format built around depth, taste and meaningful connection. *** **Who Attends** Entrepreneurs · Business Owners · Investors · Executives · Dubai Expats *** 📅 May 10 · Sunday 🕖 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM 📍 Dubai *(location shared upon confirmation)* 💎 Contribution: 100 AED 🔒 By application only · Limited spots *Backgammon is just the excuse.* *The real value is the people you meet.* **→ Request to Join** ##

Join us as we get together to see your choice of two VERY different movies – one sweet and wholesome – the other a terrifying folklore horror! Option 1 is the fun whodunnit-action-comedy-mystery led by Hugh Jackman, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! Option 2 is the top-reviewed supernatural-horror-thriller starring Adam Scott, HOKUM! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The film is directed by Kyle Balda and take a look at this ensemble cast: Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau and Emma Thompson and the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein and Rhys Darby. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc PLAN: For those seeing HOKUM, please purchase your ticket for the 7:00pm showing and meet inside the theater lobby at 6:50pm! For those seeing THE SHEEP DETECTIVES, please purchase your ticket for the 7:15pm showing and meet inside the theater lobby at 7:00pm!

This month we’ll be reading Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett. Feel free to come and chat even if you don’t finish the book!

The topic for May is "Ink" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
