Drawing his creative strength from his Algerian roots, Hervé KOUBI’s latest 70 minute long work What the Day Owes To The Night, combines capoeira, martial arts, urban and contemporary dance with powerful imagery for a group of 12 all male Algerian and African dancers defying gravity. Fed by Orientalist paintings, the stone filigree of Islamic architecture, KOUBI traces his own path, made of entanglements, a complex weave. The company has already been touring extensively all over France, Europe and Russia and is poised to sail its Mediterranean background and inspired choreography to North America during the 2015/16 season and beyond.
