About the Event
Be prepared for your jaw to drop (and your heartbeats to synchronize). In this highly physical, stunningly fluid work, 14 all-male virtuoso urban street performers from Algeria, Morocco and the Mediterranean basin defy gravity. With a rich movement vocabulary combining capoeira, martial arts, urban and contemporary dance, Compagnie Hervé KOUBI deftly marries strength with vulnerability.
Powerful imagery evocative of stone filigree of Islamic architecture combines with Sufi sounds recorded by the Kronos Quartet, music by Hamza El Din from Egypt and excerpts of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Passion. An interdisciplinarian after our Wolfpack hearts, Algerian choreographer Hervé Koubi grew up in France where he studied biology and dance at the University of Aix-en-Provence, graduating as a pharmaceutical doctor in 2002. He was pulled toward dance and since the 2010s his company has been touring internationally to rave reviews and packed houses.
