Cirque Du Soleil’s dazzling<br />

Saltimbanco steals the show<br />

CATHERINE W GICHUKI<br />

DOHA<br />

IT was a memorable evening for<br />

hundreds of Doha fans <strong>at</strong> Aspire<br />

Dome on Wednesday. They were<br />

tre<strong>at</strong>ed to a wonderful performance<br />

by Canadian-based Cirque Du<br />

Soleil’s 20-year-old sign<strong>at</strong>ure production,<br />

‘Saltimbanco’.<br />

The show <strong>at</strong> the popular arena —<br />

which was packed with a multin<strong>at</strong>ional<br />

audience — fe<strong>at</strong>ured an<br />

intern<strong>at</strong>ional cast of 51 performers<br />

and musicians from more than 20<br />

countries.<br />

Live artistes enthralled the crowd<br />

with performances like near impossible<br />

balancing, jumping and spinning<br />

acts on the Chinese poles or the<br />

Russian wing. There was gravitydefying<br />

bungees, trapeze, juggling<br />

and acrob<strong>at</strong>ic performances on bicycle.<br />

One of the show’s highlights was<br />

the witty remarks and the humorous<br />

interventions by clowns during serious<br />

acts by other artistes.<br />

Spectacular costumes, amazing<br />

lighting and mesmerising music<br />

were the other highlights.<br />

Speaking to Q<strong>at</strong>ar <strong>Tribune</strong> during<br />

a rehearsal earlier on Wednesday,<br />

42-year-old RJ Owens, the ringmaster,<br />

said, “We train every day to keep<br />

RJ Owens, a ringmaster, performs <strong>at</strong><br />

Aspire Zone, in Doha, on Wednesday.<br />

ourselves fit. In my case, if I don’t<br />

work out, I don’t feel energetic.”<br />

The show began with a present<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

from the house troupe. The<br />

present<strong>at</strong>ion was followed by<br />

‘Adagio’ — marked with strength,<br />

flexibility and three acrob<strong>at</strong>s coming<br />

together to cre<strong>at</strong>e amazing shapes<br />

and sizes. The Chinese poles were<br />

marked by multi-coloured performers<br />

who slipped on the stage and<br />

then climbed around seven-metretall<br />

poles to symbolise the skyscrapers<br />

of Saltimbanco. They then<br />

jumped from one pole to the other.<br />

Performer Terry Velasquez juggled<br />

up to eight balls cre<strong>at</strong>ing various<br />

forms and figures. Other artistes balanced<br />

on canes and cre<strong>at</strong>ed a series<br />

of figures. As if th<strong>at</strong> was not enough!<br />

Two performers twirled boleadoras<br />

in the air and bounced off weight on<br />

the ground, making explosive noises<br />

in unison. The show also included<br />

other bre<strong>at</strong>htaking acts th<strong>at</strong> left the<br />

audience spellbound.<br />

“It was a fantastic evening. I loved<br />

the way performers were tied to<br />

bungees, swing and dropped and<br />

flew in the air. The show was spectacular,”<br />

said a British n<strong>at</strong>ional. “It<br />

was nice to w<strong>at</strong>ch performers sway<br />

on a trapeze. Hope such kind of<br />

events would be held more often,”<br />

said a fan.<br />

The word ‘Saltimbanco’ has been<br />

derived from the Italian phrase<br />

‘Saltare in banco’. It means ‘to<br />

jump on the bench’. The four-day<br />

event will conclude on July 7. Two<br />

shows will be held every day <strong>at</strong> 4pm<br />

and 8pm, respectively.<br />

The Pearl deploys<br />

mobile w<strong>at</strong>er<br />

supply system<br />

TRIBUNE NEWS NETWORK<br />

DOHA<br />

THE Pearl-Q<strong>at</strong>ar has<br />

recently conducted training<br />

sessions for staff in the use<br />

of a hi-tech mobile w<strong>at</strong>er<br />

supply system as part of its<br />

commitment to safety and<br />

security on the island.<br />

High ranking officials<br />

from the Civil Defense<br />

authority took part in the<br />

training sessions with team<br />

members from Glitter and<br />

The Shield, both fully<br />

owned subsidiaries of<br />

United Development<br />

Company (UDC), developer<br />

of The Pearl. The island’s<br />

health, safety and environment<br />

(HSE) officers also<br />

took part in the exercise.<br />

The advanced mobile<br />

w<strong>at</strong>er supply system, developed<br />

by Hytrans Fire System,<br />

includes two Mercedes<br />

Axor hook arm trucks, a<br />

HydroSub 900, Powerfoam,<br />

portable w<strong>at</strong>er supply<br />

equipment and power<br />

supply. It is designed to<br />

pump w<strong>at</strong>er from any open<br />

w<strong>at</strong>er supply to fight fire.<br />

“This system is ideal for<br />

efficient fire fighting in a<br />

w<strong>at</strong>er-bound environment<br />

like The Pearl,” said<br />

Abdullah Muhammed al<br />

Suwaidi from the Civil<br />

Defense. “In major fire<br />

emergencies, the main<br />

issue is always w<strong>at</strong>er flow<br />

and pressure, access, time<br />

and distance. Therefore, it<br />

is always necessary to be<br />

able to pump from open<br />

w<strong>at</strong>er sources and this system<br />

allows us to do th<strong>at</strong>.”<br />

Saeed al Sulaiti, general<br />

manager of Glitter, The<br />

Shield and HSE <strong>at</strong> The<br />

Pearl-Q<strong>at</strong>ar said the new<br />

system was part of UDC’s<br />

commitment to cre<strong>at</strong>e and<br />

maintain a safe, secure<br />

and clean environment on<br />

the island.<br />

“This system can pump<br />

thousands of litres of w<strong>at</strong>er<br />

to an area when needed in<br />

an emergency. By deploying<br />

the l<strong>at</strong>est technology<br />

The Pearl-Q<strong>at</strong>ar is delivering<br />

on its commitment<br />

to ensure the safety and security<br />

of residents and visitors<br />

to the island,” he said.<br />

Two fire engines are<br />

already st<strong>at</strong>ioned on the<br />

island and the w<strong>at</strong>er supply<br />

system will be stored in<br />

close proximity in case of<br />

emergency.<br />

TRIBUNE NEWS NETWORK<br />

DOHA<br />

QPM, one of the region’s premier<br />

project management<br />

companies, has announced<br />

the successful conclusion of<br />

its annual staff g<strong>at</strong>hering, an<br />

event designed to show the<br />

company’s appreci<strong>at</strong>ion for<br />

the contribution of its<br />

employees to its success.<br />

A number of activities took<br />

place during the programme,<br />

including team-building exercises,<br />

as well as an awards<br />

ceremony which honoured 15<br />

members of staff.<br />

QPM Chairman Ahmad<br />

Abdulla al Abdulla addressed<br />

the g<strong>at</strong>hering, informing<br />

associ<strong>at</strong>es of the company of<br />

its vision, mission and str<strong>at</strong>egy.<br />

Acting Chief Executive<br />

Officer Fahed al Asmakh<br />

emphasised the quality of the<br />

team QPM employs and highlighted<br />

the ongoing 2012-<br />

2013 roadmap.<br />

QPM’s vision, according to<br />

al Asmakh, is to be a leading<br />

provider of world class project<br />

management services in<br />

the region, and it aims to<br />

achieve this through its mission<br />

to capture a large share<br />

of the regional project management<br />

market and expand<br />

its portfolio through its<br />

diverse pool of high-calibre<br />

talent and track record of<br />

The overall str<strong>at</strong>egy th<strong>at</strong><br />

QPM intends to apply to its<br />

business in the medium- and<br />

long-term is one of ambitious<br />

expansion and growth in both<br />

domestic and intern<strong>at</strong>ional<br />

arenas.<br />

Al Asmkah said, “The annual<br />

g<strong>at</strong>hering of QPM’s associ<strong>at</strong>es<br />

is an important part of<br />

the company’s calendar. It<br />

allows us to bond as a workforce,<br />

to recognise outstanding<br />

employees and also gives<br />

senior management the<br />

opportunity to deliver key<br />

company messages in person.<br />

‘From K<strong>at</strong>ara with Love’<br />

raises funds for charity<br />

‘FROM K<strong>at</strong>ara with Love’, the<br />

three-day event aimed <strong>at</strong> promoting<br />

Q<strong>at</strong>ari arts and crafts<br />

while contributing half of net<br />

earnings to local charity,<br />

ended on S<strong>at</strong>urday.<br />

Speaking with Q<strong>at</strong>ar<br />

<strong>Tribune</strong>, Al Jazi Hassan,<br />

K<strong>at</strong>ara marketing and intern<strong>at</strong>ional<br />

affairs coordin<strong>at</strong>or,<br />

noted th<strong>at</strong> “its a fundraising<br />

event by different Q<strong>at</strong>ari talents,<br />

and th<strong>at</strong>’s why its called<br />

‘From K<strong>at</strong>ara With Love’”.<br />

The word K<strong>at</strong>ara was used<br />

to refer to Q<strong>at</strong>ar hundreds of<br />

years ago.<br />

“Exhibitors here showing<br />

off their clothes, hand-made<br />

products, food, and all kinds<br />

of market wares are selling<br />

them and 50 percent of wh<strong>at</strong><br />

they make will go to the<br />

Sanad Charity”, Hassan<br />

explained.<br />

Sanad is a local charity<br />

founded in 2010 by local<br />

youth. The organis<strong>at</strong>ion came<br />

to be through a competition<br />

th<strong>at</strong> Q<strong>at</strong>ar Charity held to<br />

encourage local charity initi<strong>at</strong>ives.<br />

The winners went on to<br />

found Sanad. The charity<br />

focuses on helping local families<br />

in need, and also offers<br />

programmes for workers in<br />

the country, offering them<br />

iftar during Ramadan, and<br />

distributing w<strong>at</strong>er bottles to<br />

them in the hot months of<br />

summer.<br />

‘From K<strong>at</strong>ara With Love’ is<br />

actually the brainchild of Al<br />

Jazi, who recalled th<strong>at</strong> “I proposed<br />

this event to the president,<br />

and he was very keen on<br />

it, seeing th<strong>at</strong> it benefits really<br />

everyone involved; the recipients<br />

of the funds which are<br />

going to charity, Q<strong>at</strong>aris who<br />

are displaying their talents<br />

and of course the general<br />

public, because there is really<br />

a lot of items to look through<br />

here.<br />

Hassan hopes to eventually<br />

organise a series of such<br />

events.<br />

She added th<strong>at</strong> “we are<br />

hoping this is not just a onetime<br />

event, but a tradition,<br />

where we can bring up new<br />

talents in business, poetry,<br />

arts, and give them the opportunity<br />

to particip<strong>at</strong>e in this<br />

kind of event.”<br />

The event also included a<br />

traditional Q<strong>at</strong>ari poetry<br />

night, where both established<br />

and up-and-coming poets<br />

recited their works, and an art<br />

exhibition by local artists.<br />
