Drawing on personal experiences he had with his own autistic brother, the artist explores how a different, special body is perceived, through the repetitive gestures and social isolation deriving from it. Through this journey, our cracks are explored to welcome our own fragility, and the one of others.
Aliféyini Mohamed, aka Lil’Cé, trained on the African island of Mayotte, a French overseas territory, working with artists such as Djodjo Kazadi and Ahamada Smis. Besides producing his own shows, he leads dance and body expression workshops in didactic and social contexts.
