Re: Caracalla Dance Theatre- Lebanon

Caracalla is the name of an ensemble, not of a person. Suhaila was never a member.

It is Lebanon's leading folkloric dance company, sort of Lebanon's cultural equivalent of Reda Troupe as it relates to prestige.

Caracalla is particularly known for telling stories through dance. For example, they were highly acclaimed for a performance they did in England in which they told the story of Taming of the Shrew through dance.

Their choreographic style tends to be a fusion of debke with modern dance. I would urge anyone interested in auditioning to acquire (if you don't already have it) a strong background in ballet and modern dance. Debke would help, too.
