Cie Hervé KOUBI – What the day owes to the night from herve koubi on Vimeo.
The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo’s Performing Arts Center presents Compagnie Hervé Koubi: What the Day Owes to the Night, March 28 at 7:30 p.m.
What the Day Owes to the Night is Koubi’s latest work and is inspired by his own personal journey and discovery of his Algerian heritage. His all male cast of dancers has toured extensively around the world before debuting the full length production in the United States in October 2015. Since then it has received numerous standing ovations and acclaim for its incredible physicality, powerful imagery and inspired choreography. Utilizing urban and contemporary dance movements, capoeira, and martial arts to bring the piece to life, dancers literally defy gravity and take the audience’s collective breath away.
Koubi grew up in the South of France where he studied both biology and dance at the University of Aix-en-Provence before graduating as a pharmaceutical doctor. After deciding to concentrate on a dancing career and graduating from the world-renowned Rosella Hightower School of Dance in Cannes, Koubi gained professional experience as a dancer with the Opera de Marseille. Since then, he has developed many contemporary dance projects in collaboration with various artists, writers, choreographers and musicians from the world over.
