French-Algerian choreographer Hervé Koubi will make his Seattle debut with "What the Day Owes to the Night," a highly physical, stunningly fluid work for 12 French-Algerian and African male dancers that combines capoeira, martial arts, urban and contemporary dance with powerful imagery evocative of Orientalist paintings and Islamic architecture.

This evening-length work is based on a novel by Yasmina Khadra and explores a boy’s complex Algerian and European identity.
