Hervé Koubi

Strathmore

Combining contemporary and urban dance movements, capoeira, and martial arts with powerful imagery and inspired choreography, dancers defy gravity in a unique and original performance. Inspired by Algerian author Yasmina Khadra’s novel, What the Day Owes to the Night, choreographer Hervé Koubi traces his own personal lineage as a French-Algerian choreographer. After learning about his family’s Algerian roots, Koubi returned to the country of his ancestors to collaborate with street dance performers from across the Mediterranean basin. What emerged is “a creation of poetic beauty” (The New York Times), a meditative yet strikingly athletic work about the ties that bind us.
