Compagnie Hervé KOUBI, a French-based, Algerian-rooted-troupe, is a powerhouse player on the international touring circuit. Combining contemporary and urban dance movements, capoeira and martial arts with powerful imagery and inspired choreography, the dancers defy gravity looking deceptively like a desert ritual.
"If North African men preserved a traditional form of dance, they would perform it bare-chested, wearing loincloths over white leggings. They would whirl like dervishes then pause, slowly gesturing like desert mystics, beckoning through a bright haze. They would be strong, but wiry. They would mystify audiences, who would stare dumbfounded at the dual display of gymnastics and grace unlike anything in Western dance." ~Washington Dance Post Review, Rebecca Ritzel
