Caracalla captured global press recognition interpreted through an original dance form and revealing a rich and mysterious east blended with western technique.
Caracalla created over fourteen ballets and musicals including adaptations of Shakespeare’s“A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Taming of the Shrew and Much Ado About Nothing”.
Recipient of numerous acclaimed awards and decorations from Arabic and International leaders, Caracalla has the honor to collaborate with some of the most internationally renowned artists that are pioneers and leaders in the world of theatre. Under the auspices of great leaders and with the admiration of a vast audience, the Company has succeeded in the establishment of its own theatre home to the dancers and guardian to over forty years of invaluable and extensive archival research in dance, music, costumes, traditions and Arabic heritage.
