“The Upside Down Man,” that’s what the Belgian-Tunisian choreographer and dancer Mohamed Toukabri called himself after his first solo. 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 gaze to the architecture of dance itself. He digs into his own body like an archaeologist and explores the different layers of dance within him. At the same time, he attempts to create an opening, a decolonization of his imagination. What responsibility do we bear for what we pass on, erase, or preserve? We are all involved in the act of reinvention, and this solo is an invitation to reinvent it together.
