Caracalla Dance Theatre Presents:
Zayed and the Dream
Marking the return of the company to London for the first time since their critically-acclaimed production of Two Thousand and One Nights in 2003, Zayed and The Dream showcases an historic and epic journey in to the heart of the Arabian Desert.
Combining history with art, it follows the legendary story of seven horsemen travellers on a remarkable journey. They will search for the one who will leave his mark on the Arabian Desert and carve his name as a humanitarian and hero of civilisation.
Zayed and the Dream is commissioned by the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage. The ADACH is an institution that contributes to the strengthening of dialogue and the appreciation of different culture by developing projects that encourage the sharing of heritage and traditions.
Caracalla is an internationally-acclaimed dance company. Zayed and The Dream culminates in 100 artists taking their place on the stage, bringing together performers from China, Spain, Ukraine and the United Arab Emirates. Caracalla's own story is notable; training against the hostage situation of the 1980s, thriving despite the turmoil of the Lebanese War, where all conflicting political factions found a common unity and came together in agreement that Caracalla is the cultural image of Lebanon and the Arab world. Caracalla is now working with companies and performers from across the world to take their place as the leading dance company in the Middle East and recognised on the international stage.
