Meany Hall – Katharyn Alvord Gerlich Theater

Drawing creative strength from his Algerian roots and Mediterranean culture, choreographer Hervé Koubi makes a much-anticipated return to Seattle with his exceptional all-male dance troupe.  Combining contemporary and urban dance movements with capoeira and martial arts, this powerful company is known for its arresting imagery and gravity-defying choreography.  In the critically acclaimed Les Nuits Barbares (The Barbarian Nights), Koubi takes a deep look into the history of the Mediterranean to extract the truth behind the stereotypes of those who were once considered "barbarians."

The ENCORE program for this performance is available to READ ONLINE

A dazzling blend of gymnastics, modern dance, capoeira, break dancing, and ballet, the work is a feast for the eyes.
