“A stunning fusion of acrobatics, gymnastics, b-boying, modern dance, and ballet.”–The Washington Post
French-Algerian choreographer Hervé Koubi, who trained as a medical doctor and a dancer, grew up in France unaware of his Algerian heritage. The revelation inspired him to launch a personal journey that led to the founding of his contemporary dance company.
Compagnie Hervé Koubi is a brotherhood of dancers primarily from North Africa, most with backgrounds in street dance. The internationally acclaimed performers combine expertise in capoeira, martial arts, hip-hop, and contemporary styles.
What the Day Owes to the Night uses explosive movement to metaphorically retrace Koubi’s family history. The score features music by Johann Sebastian Bach, and Hamza El Din with Kronos Quartet, as well as traditional Sufi music.
