"But its newest production, “Zayed and the Dream,” which it will perform at the Eisenhower Theater, arose in a different way. Its multimillion-dollar cost was paid by the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH). In 2008, the authority asked Caracalla to create a dance-theater production that tells the story of Sheik Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the former ruler of Abu Dhabi and founder and first president of the federation of monarchies known as the United Arab Emirates.
To top it off, in the audience on opening night would be Zayed’s friends and family members, including his son Sheik Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan, who happens to be Abu Dhabi’s crown prince."
