Somerset House, London Escherโs paradoxical geometries and impossible gravities may baffle the mind โ yet even his wildest works were never just fanciful, as this fun and gripping show makes clear We think we know the world of Maurits Cornelis Escher with its mind-bending staircases and buildings that impossibly twist upon themselves. Yet a shocking glimpse of reality intrudes in Somerset Houseโs gripping journey through his metaverse. In 1945, Escher designed a diploma for students at a temporary academy in Eindhoven, recently liberated from Nazi rule. Behind a wise old owl in the foreground, twisting columns of black smoke rise from a riverside town, their evil sinuousness reflected in the water. The message of this depiction of war is not only that Escher was a civilised individual surviving a brutal age but also that his visual delights were never just fanciful. Even his wildest speculations reveal the workings of the world itself, grounded as they are in what Galileo called โthe language of mathematicsโ in which โthe book of nature is writtenโ. You donโt have to be fluent in that language to lose yourself in Escherโs art. You just need to look, and this exhibition lets you look so much more closely and deeply than you can in books and reproductions and imitations of his work. At times you feel you are actually inside his paradoxical places. I chuckled for ages in front of his 1958 lithograph Belvedere in which a king and queen survey a mountainous landscape in different directions from two storeys of a Renaissance building, but wait, they donโt just face different ways, their separate floors are totally at odds, the kingโs pointing sideways while the queen faces out of the picture in a 90-degree shift: the columns on the front of the kingโs balustrade support the back of the queenโs floor and the whole building turns in two different dimensions inhabiting two truths at once. No wonder the builders are dressed as jesters while an architect sits studying geometry. Continue reading...

King Street Social Club, North Shields Teeing up a forthcoming solo album, the rapper doesnโt reheat his old Beastie Boys sound, instead throwing down everything from ballads to Kraftwerk references Adam Yauch AKA MCAโs death in 2012 from cancer aged 47 effectively ended the stellar recording and performing career of hip-hop trio Beastie Boys. Since then, bandmates Adam โAd-Rockโ Horovitz and Michael โMike Dโ Diamond have made few public appearances but the latter is now back in the fray. His first appearance on a British stage in almost 20 years is in, of all places, a bingo hall in the north east, where he surely becomes the first legendary rapper to yell: โWassup, North Shields?!โ With turntables on stage, hip-hop clobber in the audience, a six-piece band in matching outfits and bingo tables at the back, this unlikely show feels simultaneously low-key and an event. Mike D is backed by 5D โ who include his sons and are more than half his 60 years โ whose slamming grooves and crunching guitars arenโt Beastie Boys reheated, but certainly have the same inimitable joie de vivre.

The overwhelming majority of those deported had no criminal convictions, and at least 600 were children In late January, the Trump administration was planning a war in Iran, weighing possible airstrikes and staging aircraft carriers and other military ships in the region. Around that time, government officials deported 18 people to Iran, the last of them arriving just days before American and Israeli bombs began falling across the country. These deportations were the latest in an aggressive campaign to deport Iranians from the United States, the first time in recent history the US government had done so in large numbers. In the 13 months of Donald Trumpโs presidency leading up to the war, the United States deported more than 200 people to Iran, even as the state department decried human rights abuses by the Iranian government and warned US citizens not to travel there โfor any reasonโ.

In todayโs newsletter: As the virus spreads across borders, health workers warn that weakened global support is making a prolonged crisis more likely Ebola is spreading rapidly in parts of east Africa. The deadly disease, which kills around half of those it infects, is suspected to have claimed the lives of at least 240 people since the outbreak began in Ituri province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo earlier this month. Public health officials are scrambling to contain the virus in one of the toughest environments: Ituri province, the centre of the crisis, is a mining hub where thousands of people work in close proximity every day, and a conflict zone, with ongoing fighting between rebel groups. Medical facilities are modest, while waves of displaced people are being forced into overcrowded camps to escape fighting, making it even harder to control transmission. The virus has already spread to other regions in eastern DRC and the Ugandan capital Kampala.

Sadlerโs Wells, London The late choreographer heightens Ophelia and Gertrudeโs stories yet squanders some speeches in an intense hour Words, words, words. Can Hamlet retain its tragic force without using most of them? This hour-long dance-theatre remix by the late South African choreographer Dada Masilo preserves few speeches and its opening is not auspicious, crashing straight into โTo be, or not to beโ shorn of context and characterisation. There follows, as is customary, a meeting between the prince and Ophelia, but Masilo replaces the usual cruel encounter with stolen moments amid a ceremony, as if they are meeting anew like Romeo and Juliet at the Capulet ball. Matching each otherโs movements, amid clapped hands, thrusting shoulders and rippling chests, they grow closer with a hint of tango footwork. From this flashback, Masilo practically fast-forwards their choreography with a sense of doom. Continue reading...
