Artistes perform <strong>at</strong> Cirque Du Soleil’s ‘Saltimbanco’ <strong>at</strong> Aspire Zone, in Doha, on Wednesday. (MANEESH BAKSHI)<br />
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 />

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 />

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 />

‘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 />
