Zayed and the Dream follows the journey of seven horsemen as they travel through the sands of time in search of the destined one who will engrave his vision on the deserts of Arabia. Guiding him through the years, they impart to him each of their seven virtues: wisdom, courage, justice, faith, righteousness, honor and patience. Starring 100 artists with guest dancers from China, Spain, Ukraine and the United Arab Emirates, Zayed and the Dream was commissioned by the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage. Caracalla is an internationally-acclaimed dance company that has built their own dance language bridging Eastern and Western styles. Embodying the cultural image of Lebanon and the Arab world, and working with companies and performers from across the globe, Caracalla is recognized as an arts leader in the Middle East and one of the leading dance theater companies on the international stage. Known for their lavish costumes, sparkling sets and breathtaking choreography, Caracalla Dance Theatre has performed Zayed and the Dream in Abu Dhabi, Beirut, Paris, London, Dubai, and after the Royce Hall performances, will be traveling to Beijing.

This was without a doubt the absolute worst theater performance since the beginning of time. This is the crap that dictators force their people to see in the name of culture. The choreography consisted of dancers running around in circles while the audience dies the death of a thousand cuts of boredom...shame to everyone involved in this outrageously amateurish production.

It was truely bad and just seemed like an unusual propaganda for Zayed who is the head of the government in Abu Dhabi except for the last 15-20 minutes when they brought in some good Russuan and Spanish and Chinese dancers. We were in shock to see such a program at UCLA.
