"Towards Fifty": Nation's journey brought to life on stage
From the sea to the fields The concert began with vivid scenes of the sea: trips, pearl diving, and fishing, complemented by traditional tunes that previously rang across Emirati coastlines. The narrative then moved to the desert and farmlands, capturing the essence of agriculture and trade. As the story progressed, it chronicled the emergence of education, industry, urban development, and scientific success, providing a vivid vision of a nation transforming into a beacon of modernity and wealth. The leap into space The performance concluded with an incredible scene: a leap into space. The show commemorated the UAE's pioneering role in space research and the construction of scientific institutes, exemplifying a limitless aspiration. "Towards Fifty" unfolded as an exciting visual journey — "from the glow of the pearl to the light of the cosmos," emphasising the stages of progress that led the UAE from a life moulded by sea and desert to leadership among the stars. A message for future generations Dr Adnan Salloum, Performing Arts Expert at Rubu' Qarn Centre for Theatre and Performing Arts, spoke on the occasion: "This performance tells the story of a nation, from the depths of the sea to the sands of the desert, from the simplicity of life to the boundless expanse of space. We use it to describe the early days of our ancestors' lives in seafaring and agriculture, as well as to commemorate our country's creation and growth. Towards Fifty is more than just a historical showcase; it is a sincere message to future generations about how ambition and hard effort may construct a limitless future." Commitment to nurturing national values The project "Towards Fifty" exemplifies Rubu' Qarn's unwavering commitment to teaching national ideals and cultivating a profound understanding of the UAE's inspirational journey in the hearts of its future generations.
