What the Day Owes to the Night by Hervé Koubi, music by Bach and Hamza El Din with traditional melodies Compagnie Hervé Koubi

About

When French choreographer Hervé Koubi learned of his Algerian ancestry at age 25, he devoted himself to learning more about his roots in the land where his ancestors had lived, and developing a remarkable examination of identity. The hypnotic, remarkable Ce que le jour doit à la nuit (What the Day Owes to the Night), inspired by Orientialist paintings and Islamic stone carvings, draws on the novel of the same name by Yasmina Khadra to trace Koubi’s relationship with his own lineage through an eye-catching, inspired work of modern dance that the New York Times called “a creation of poetic beauty.”
