no word for all ages
My Ocean is an autobiographical stage journey in which the artist Leïtani Mohamed transforms his personal memories, fears and inner changes into living physical art. The performance begins with juggling as a symbol of early life lessons—uncertain, full of mistakes, and intertwined with painful childhood memories, when a strict fatherly presence shaped fear. The audience becomes an active participant, reflecting these early experiences.
Gradually, the performer moves toward building his own strength: the balls become challenges that can be explored, mastered and turned into personal qualities. Acrobatic movement highlights the transformation—from vulnerability to uniqueness.
The journey leads him to Asia, where through dance, kung fu and ritual actions he explores new cultures, until reaching a moment of saturation and the need to return home. The finale welcomes him back to Tangier, by the ocean, where through hand-balancing and tai chi breathing the artist finds inner equilibrium. The audience is invited to breathe, calm down and feel gratitude—a final gesture of shared harmony.
My Ocean is an autobiographical voyage in which juggling, movement and cultural references become metaphors for childhood trauma, overcoming fear, searching for identity and reaching inner balance.
The performance will be followed by a juggling and acrobatic workshop.
