Latifa and Mohamed: A reunion through dance

Available for over a year

A mother, a son, and the discovery of a shared dream. Latifa Khamessi and her son Mohamed Toukabri from Tunisia were inseparable until aged 15, when he left for Europe to study dance. It was gut-wrenching to be apart, but an opportunity he couldn't turn down. It wasn't until years later that Mohamed discovered his mother had wished for the same future for herself, but had been forbidden from dancing. Separated by a sea and oceans of time, Mohamed then hatched a plan to reunite with his mother, now in her sixties but still just as eager to take to the stage. The Power (of) the Fragile was performed at The Shubbak Festival in London.
