Mohammed Toukabri
Mohamed Toukabri steps into uncharted terrain, where movement becomes both excavation and rebellion. Known for his ability to navigate between worlds—be it street and stage, hip hop and postmodernism, personal and political—Toukabri now turns his sharp choreographic eye to the very architecture of dance itself.
In this performance, he dismantles hierarchies embedded in the body, questioning who gets to move how, and why. The piece pulses with the urgency of decolonising the imagination, carving out a space where dance traditions do not compete but converse, where forms long dismissed as ‘low’ hold their own against the canonised. Footwork flows seamlessly into weight shifts; virtuosity and vulnerability coalesce. This is not fusion—it’s friction, coexistence, a rewriting of the rules in real-time.
The title is both a provocation and a reminder: the weight of history moves with us, and tomorrow’s dance is shaped by today’s choices. What responsibility do we carry in what we pass on, in what we erase or uphold? This work does not offer easy answers but insists that we, as witnesses, are implicated in the act of reimagining.
What makes this moment in Toukabri’s journey so arresting is his bold refusal to settle. Having honed his craft within institutions and on the streets, he now claims a choreographic voice that is unmistakably his own: rooted yet unbound, deeply personal yet speaking to a collective reckoning. This is more than a solo—it’s an invitation to step beyond the known, into a dance where all bodies, all histories, belong.
