However, he loses himself, even his fiancée, Hélène after satisfying his own desire. It was not until he has gone through the ups and downs in his life that he accepted his own identity. Pina Bausch, a Germany choreographer, said, “I don''t care how they move, I want to know what moves them.” What she said reminds me think about what moves Mourad? The environment starts up his Moule intérieur that “moves” his body an Italian, then, resume him an Algerian. His alteration relies on his changing perspective on himself. Instead of thinking “I have to meet someone else’s expectation”, he “follows himself”. His cultivated experience finally showing him an easy but resolute body code.
