Compagnie Hervé KOUBI Presents "What The Day Owes To The Night"
Company:
Compagnie Hervé KOUBI
Compagnie Hervé KOUBI performs What The Day Owes To The Night, a gravity-defying work blending capoeira, martial arts, and contemporary dance.
Inspired by Algerian author Yasmina Khadra’s novel, What The Day Owes To The Night traces Koubi’s 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 streetdance 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.
Supported by Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels through their valued partners at The Joyce Theater and NYU Skirball. Since its founding in 1906, Van Cleef & Arpels has been a devotee of dance. Through Dance Reflections, the company has deepened its commitment to the arts. Guided by the principles of creation, transmission, and education, the program supports artists and institutions that celebrate modern and contemporary choreographic repertoire while fostering new works.
