Compagnie Hervé Koubi

Compagnie Hervé Koubi performing What The Day Owes To The Night. Nathalie Sternalski

The French-Algerian choreographer Hervé Koubi brings his signature work to the Bandshell with COMPAGNIE HERVÉ KOUBI: the muscular and astonishingly kinetic evening-length What The Day Owes To The Night. The piece, bristling with energy and powerful images that evoke Orientalist paintings and Islamic architecture, features 12 French-Algerian and African dancers and combines capoeira, martial arts, hip hop, and contemporary styles. “The juxtaposition of contrasting speeds and shapes is mesmerizing. And the virtuosity ... is a touch of theatrical magic.” (The New York Times)
