Mohamed Toukabri was born in Tunis and began dancing at the age of 12, starting with breakdance. He joined the Sybel Ballet Theatre (TN) led by Syheme Belkhodja (2002 - 2008). At the age of 16, Mohamed trained in Paris at the International Academy of Dance. In 2007 he returned to Tunis to study at the Mediterranean Centre for Contemporary Dance. In 2008, he started his studies at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels, a dance school directed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. During these studies he participated in Babel by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Damien Jalet from Eastman Company (BE) (2010). Mohamed was a member of Needcompany, the international performance company in Brussels founded by Jan Lauwers and Grace Ellen Barkey (2013-2018). He also performed in the remake of the repertory piece Zeitung by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker (2012) and Sacré Printemps! by Aicha M’Barak and Hafiz Dhaou (Chatha Company (TN)) (2014).

His first self-devised work ›The Upside Down Man (the son of the road)‹ premiered at the Me, Myself & I Festival in Hellerau, Dresden in May 2018. The work was on tour in Belgium, UK, France, Lille, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and Austria. It was selected for the Het Theater Festival as part of the #NewYoung category. His work ›The Power (of) The Fragile‹, a duet with his mother, is still touring internationally throughout Europe. Mohamed's newest production is called ›Every-body-knows-what-tomorrow-brings-and-we-all-know-what-happened-yesterday‹ and is a solo that explores the ties between dance, memory, history, virtuosity, migration and politics.
