Compagnie Hervé Koubi, France

Dance performance

Twelve Algerian and Burkina Faso dancers, mostly coming from street dance, from hip-hop, have furnished the necessary effort for this long-term project. Fed by Orientalist paintings, the stone filigree of Islamic architecture, Koubi traces his own path, made of entanglements, a complex weave. “Ce que le jour doit à la nuit” is a story about roots, bonds, time, humanity.

“It is like an orientalist of the 19th century came to Algeria to give life to his dreams of the Orient; I would like to give life to my dreams as a child born in France, and who discovered belatedly his true origins and those of his parents, Algerians from birth.” (Hervé Koubi)
