When did all the dancing start? 
I was born into a family of dance, theater, music and poetry, so dancing has always been part of my vocabulary and form of expression.

Upon what do you base your inspiration? 
My inspiration is part of me, I base it on my life, experiences, feelings, nature, people, it’s everything I see and feel.

You are the living translation of your father Abdel Halim Caracalla and your brother Ivan’s creations, besides the family bond what is the secret of your mutual cooperation? 
We are a very close family, however at work we are three artists that work hand in hand together, we are true to our art form and we strive for the best.

How much do they influence you? 
My Dad is my biggest influence and role model, and Ivan my brother and I are an inseparable duo as we both have the same mission.

If you were not a Caracalla what would you have done or chosen to be your carrier?
Nothing else could possibly fulfill me; I am in love with what I do. I live my work.

What did experience teach you?
 Experience taught me how much more I have to learn, how necessary it is to observe, read, listen, learn, how each moment is a learning experience, and how there is no limit to creativity.
